                                  Introduction

        The Charles Schwab Corporation and U.S. Trust Corporation.

-       This transaction advances our new model of full-service investing and
        creates compelling benefits for today's affluent and emerging affluent
        investors.

In addition to historical information, this presentation contains
forward-looking statements that reflect management's goals, objectives and
expectations as of the date hereof. These statements relate to, among other
things, U.S. investor demographics, benefits to be realized from the transaction
and the pro forma financial impact of the transaction. Achievement of the
expressed goals, expectations and objectives is subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
goals, objectives or expectations.

Important factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited
to: economic disruptions; a severe downturn in the securities markets; changes
in the growth rate of U.S. household assets; outcomes significantly different
than assumptions concerning the feasibility, magnitude or timing of expected
benefits; intensified competition in the wealth management arena; and changes in
the legal and regulatory environment. Additional discussions of the risks faced
by Schwab and U.S. Trust are contained in their Annual Reports and Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q.
