Charles Schwab nets $53B in assets, second highest March in history
Financial firm ‘extremely confident in current progress and long-term future’
Former Chief White House Budget Office economist Vance Ginn analyzes the U.S. economy as the jobs market 'struggles' and inflation remains problematic on 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast.'
Charles Schwab said on Thursday that new client assets reached the second-best mark in company history last month, netting $53 billion.
The financial services and brokerage firm also said deposit flows "remained fairly consistent" despite market turmoil and the ongoing banking crisis.

"Of course, the Fed’s actions to decrease the money supply and raise interest rates will naturally increase our cost of funding and consequently have some impact on earnings," Schwab said.
"While the first quarter was a challenging time, reflecting negative investor sentiment, ongoing interest rate hikes, and regional banking turmoil, Schwab’s client-centric growth model remains firmly intact and is performing well," the company added in the statement.
