B. Move Assets to One or More Schwab Accounts and Choose a Cost Basis Method
• When moving non-cash assets, please ensure you understand and specify which cost basis method you would like us to use prior to processing. If an
alternative cost basis method or specific lot instructions are not listed in the table on page 2, the shares will be moved using the originating account’s
cost basis method, which can be found by going to Schwab.com > Service > Account Settings.
• Schwab’s default cost basis method for stocks, bonds, and ETFs uses identified lots with the FIFO cost basis method described below. If instructions are
provided to journal a partial quantity, the remaining shares will be adjusted using the account’s default cost basis method.
• Schwab’s default cost basis for mutual funds is average cost. Lots cannot be specified if this method is currently used.
• Moving non-cash assets out of a custodial account is prohibited.
• The non-cash assets being moved are not part of a private securities transaction.
• Cost basis methods:
• First In, First Out (FIFO): The first lot acquired is the first lot moved. If lots are missing cost basis, these lots will be moved first.
• Last In, First Out (LIFO): The last lot acquired is the first lot moved, regardless if lots are missing cost basis.
• High Cost Lot (HCLOT): For long positions, the lot with the highest cost is moved first; for short positions, the lot with the lowest cost is moved first.
Lots with missing cost basis will be moved after lots with known cost basis are moved.
• Low Cost Lot (LCLOT): For long positions, the lot with the lowest cost is moved first; for short positions, the lot with the highest cost is moved first.
If lots are missing cost basis, these will be moved first.
• Tax Lot Optimizer (TLO): Even though lots are selected and sold with the objective of taking losses first (short-term then long-term) and gains last
(long-term then short-term), any shares moved will be processed at the High Cost Lot Method (HCLOT). Lots with missing cost basis will be moved after
lots with known cost basis are moved.
• We can split each lot with an equal proportional allocation of cost basis to each receiving account. This is known as pro rata.
