Charles Schwab Corp said quarterly earnings rose 16 percent as clients invested more assets with the U.S. brokerage giant and reduced their cash holdings to pre-crisis levels.

Net income for the second quarter was $238 million, or 20 cents a share, compared with $205 million, or 17 cents a share, a year earlier.

Revenue at San Francisco-based Schwab rose 10 percent to $1.19 billion.
