Service fees may apply for certain account activities that fall outside of routine account management functions and are listed in our Special Service Fees.
Trading Service Fee is a fee to offset regulatory, transaction, and processing costs imposed on broker-dealers relating to sell transactions in certain securities. The fee includes the FINRA Trading Activity Fee (TAF) and other fees that may be charged from time to time by FINRA and other self-regulatory organizations (SROs) to recover the fee they pay to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) pursuant to Section 31 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, referred to as the Regulatory Transaction Fee (RTF). These fees are charged by the SROs to recover their costs (as well as those of the government, including the SEC) relating to supervising and regulating the securities markets and securities professionals.
Trading Service Fees are calculated as: TAF + RTF (rounded to the nearest penny).
TAF = $0.000119 * shares sold in each trade or $5.95, whichever amount is less.
RTF = the principal amount * 0.00002310
Example:
If you sold 200 shares of a security for $5,000.00, the Trading Service Fees would be equal to $0.14.
$0.14 = [(0.000119*200) + (0.00002310*$5,000.00)]

Folio Investments, Inc. is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) which protects the securities of its members’ customers up to $500,000 for each customer (including $100,000 on claims for cash). SIPC covers against losses stemming from a member broker-dealer’s financial failure. A brochure explaining the coverage provided by SIPC is available on its website at www.sipc.org. In addition to SIPC coverage, we also purchased from certain underwriters at Lloyd’s, supplemental customer securities insurance with a total aggregate limit of $50 million. This coverage is limited to a combined return of $10 million to any customer from SIPC and certain underwriters at Lloyd’s. Neither SIPC coverage nor supplemental insurance protect against losses resulting from a decline in the market value of securities.
Cash deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), an independent agency created by the U.S. Congress in 1933 to help maintain public confidence in the nation’s financial system. One of its primary duties is to insure deposits in banks and thrift institutions. If you would like more information about FDIC insurance, please visit www.fdic.gov or call the FDIC Consumer Hotline at 1-877-ASK-FDIC (1-877-275-3342).
For more information on SIPC and FDIC Coverage, please see our custodial brochure.
