National Investing Day traces back to the 1975 deregulation of brokerage commissions, a shift that helped firms like Charles Schwab expand access to the markets. Lisa Hunt, EVP of International Services at Charles Schwab, explains how Schwab is building on that legacy by targeting younger investors, with Gen Z now driving a growing share of new accounts through education and early‑engagement tools. She also stresses the importance of long‑term discipline, portfolio maintenance, and mentorship as investors navigate volatility and geopolitical noise.
