Yes, I know it's confusing. But Victory bought the mutual funds assets and got those fees. Schwab bought the brokers who sold those mutual funds -- and other investment products -- and got those fees as its revenues. so, in some cases, it seems the same assets got sold twice.

speaking personally, I've been with USAA for 51 years (banking and all insurances) and with Schwab for about 30 years (investing). This arrangement should be good for both firms and their customers as it plays to each of their strengths in servicing customers' needs.
