Treeview Capital operates under a third-party custody model to maintain strict operational boundaries for client assets. We integrate our alternative investment platform with Charles Schwab, where your brokerage accounts are established and maintained.
Our firm directs the advisory strategy and fund selection, but we maintain no direct access to your capital. This operational setup combines specialized private market access with the independent oversight of a major financial custodian.
Treeview Capital never takes possession of your funds. By using Charles Schwab as our independent custodian, we ensure a strict separation between your investment advice and the physical safeguarding of your assets. This institutional structure provides a vital layer of protection and oversight.
Client accounts held at Charles Schwab are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) up to standard statutory limits of $500,000 (including a $250,000 limit for cash). In addition, Schwab maintains 'Excess SIPC' coverage through Lloyd's of London, subject to an aggregate firm-wide limit of $600 million. This structural protection applies strictly to the custody and safekeeping of assets in the event of a broker-dealer failure, and does not insure against market-driven investment losses.
You maintain control over your capital. Treeview Capital provides the digital infrastructure and institutional fund access, but we do not exercise any trading authority. You choose each investment based on your own financial objectives and execute all activity directly. Your assets remain in your name within your Schwab account, providing a transparent and self-directed investing experience.
Our custodial arrangement with Schwab is a key reason we can maintain our low 0.30% annual advisory fee. By leveraging Schwab's massive scale and digital infrastructure, we eliminate the heavy overhead costs of traditional firms. We pass those savings directly to you, allowing more of your capital to stay invested in the private markets.
