2 The "Section 31 Fee" applies
to certain sell transactions, assessed at a rate consistent with Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. TD Ameritrade remits these fees to certain self-regulatory organizations and national securities exchanges,
which in turn make payment to the SEC. These fees are intended to cover the costs incurred by the government,
including the SEC, for supervising and regulating the securities markets and securities professionals. The rate is
subject to annual and mid-year adjustments which may not be immediately known to TD Ameritrade; as a result, the
fee assessed may differ from or exceed the actual amount of the fee applicable to your transaction. Any excess may
be retained by TD Ameritrade. Fees are rounded to the nearest penny.
3 Mandatory and voluntary offers.
4 Plus the subscription cost per share.
5This fee varies by options exchange, where an
options trade executes, and whether the broker responsible for the trade is a member of a particular exchange. As
a result, TD Ameritrade calculates a blended rate that equals or slightly exceeds the amount it is required to
remit to the options exchanges.
6This fee is
assessed at a rate consistent with Section 1 of Schedule A of FINRA's By-Laws for trading activity. Current rates
are: $0.000130 per share for each sale of a covered equity security, with a maximum charge of $6.49 per trade;
$0.00218 per contract for each sale of an option; $0.00082 per bond for each sale of a covered TRACE-Eligible
Security (other than an Asset-Backed Security) and/or municipal security, with a maximum charge of $0.82 per
trade; $0.00000082 times the value, as reported to TRACE, of a sale of an Asset-Backed Security, with a maximum
charge of $0.82 per trade. Fees are rounded to the nearest penny.
7Banks acting as the custodian for an ADR (ADR agent) are allowed to charge an annual maintenance fee. The timing and amount they charge is usually disclosed in the prospectus for the ADR. If you are holding an ADR in your account, this fee is typically subtracted from the ADR's dividend amount payable. If the ADR does not pay a dividend, the fee is deducted from your account. The fee appears in the Account Activity section of your monthly statement as an "ADR Service Fee."
8The Index Option Fees are fees associated with Proprietary
Index Option products provided by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) and are subject to change without
