Why TD AMERITRADE?
We've got 5 good reasons.
Actually, the list goes on. But we'll keep it simple. TD AMERITRADE gives you tools, independent research, and a vast array of investment choices. Those are the things you need to pursue success as an independent investor. What you don't need are unexpected fees. So we don't charge them.
Fair, straightforward pricing.
You won’t find unexpected fees hiding behind asterisks or in the fine print. And you’ll pay just $9.99 for Internet equity trades, every time.
Always-
independent, third-party research.
You decide when to buy or sell. We provide independent analysis from Standard & Poor’s and Morningstar® to help you make informed decisions. With the guidance you get, you can be as involved as you want to be.
Knowledgeable support when you need it.
Being independent doesn’t mean going it alone. Need a little help putting your strategy into action? We’ve got knowledgeable people you can reach online, over the phone, or at more than 100 branch offices nationwide.
Easy-to-use investing and trading tools.
Our easy-to-use mutual fund screener helps you zero in on funds that meet your criteria, while Command Center 2.0 gives you access to a powerful lineup of trading tools, all in one customizable screen.
Quality execution for your trades.
You hear a lot of talk about trading speed. But not a lot about the price you end up with. At
TD AMERITRADE, quality trade execution isn’t just about speed. That’s because we use multiple market centers to help you get the best available price.
