"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.

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: $0.000119 per share for each sale of a covered equity
security, with a maximum charge of $5.95 per trade; $0.002 per contract for each sale of an option;
$0.00075 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 $0.75 per trade; $0.00000075 times the value, as reported to
TRACE, of a sale of an Asset-Backed Security, with a maximum charge of $0.75 per trade. Fees are rounded
to the nearest penny.
