COMMISSION SCHEDULE

The commission schedule follows...

  • For certificates of Deposit, 0.3% on purchase.

  • For treasury securities, 0.25% on purchase.

  • For mutual funds, 4% front load.

  • For municipal bonds, 0.2% on purchase.

  • For corporate bonds, 0.5% on purchase.


STOCKS (Buy or Sell)

For any order, two items affect total commission: Price per share and number of shares. Total commission equals the total of three items:

  • Base commission

  • Surcharges on price per share

  • Surcharges on number of shares

Commission Calculations

  • If the order totals at least $10,000, then base commission is 4 percent of the order, plus $134.

  • If the order totals at least $1000, but less than $10,000, then base commission is 5 percent of the order, plus $34.

  • If the order totals less than $1000, then base commission is 8.4 percent of the order amount.

  • On shares selling for $14 to $25 each, total commission equals base commission plus 2 percent of base commission.

  • On shares selling for under $14 per share, total commission equals base commission plus 5 percent of base commission.

  • "Odd lots" are shares bought or sold in other than multiples of 100 shares. On odd-lot sales, add another 4 percent of base commission to base commission.
