Are there any hidden fees incurred with an account of which I should be aware?

 

No. You will find no hidden fees. Our business approach is to be honest and straightforward with our customers. The only cost traditionally associated with an account is the aggregate amount of the stock purchase or sale (cost basis plus commission). There are certain services that carry direct processing costs, and the customer does pay for these services. These fees may be found under the Fees and Commissions tab on our homepage under Special Account Services; however, the typical customer does not incur these charges.
