¹Alternative brokerage rates may be agreed from time to time and (if agreed to) will be payable under clause 23 of CommSec’s International Securities Trading Terms and Conditions. ²For all limit and market orders which are not fully executed in the same trading day, normal brokerage will be charged for the total portion executed per day. Brokerage charges may be converted and applied in the local currency. This may result in variances in the US dollar equivalent brokerage applied. Unless otherwise indicated, where a fee is expressed as a percentage, it refers to a percentage of the transaction value. ³Brokerage is charged on an aggregated (averaged out) basis for trades in the same stock, on the same account, on the same day and in the same direction (buy/sell). That is, brokerage is charged as if a single trade took place combining and averaging out each of these trades. Each such aggregation/combination will attract a separate brokerage charge. ⁴May be subject to additional local exchange fees. ⁵Brokerage is applied individually for each trade regardless of whether multiple trades in the same stock occur. ⁶Where an amendment is made to a partially executed order, the amended order is treated as a new order and normal brokerage will be charged upon execution.

Foreign Exchange

Fee Type	Amount
FX Fee on deposit and withdrawal⁷	0.60%
FX Fee per trade	NIL
⁷For trades in currencies to which certain restrictions apply, currency must first be transferred from USD and will incur a small additional spread.

Other International Account Fees

Exchange fees and other regulatory fees also apply. Exchange fees may be different for each exchange you trade on.

Fee Type	Amount (USD)
Custody fee for inactive accounts⁸	$25.00 per year
Posted trade confirmation fee⁹	$1.80 per trade or trade combination
Posted statement fee	$1.80 per statement
⁸ Custody fees are charged to accounts defined as inactive; that is, accounts holding a security position for a calendar year (1 January to 31 December) without generating a trade, or margin interest of USD $100 or more. Systematic reinvestment activity in mutual funds and/or exchange activity in mutual funds will be considered as a trade. However, dividend reinvestment activity is not considered a trade. ⁹ One consolidated trade confirmation document is sent per trade day however the fee is not charged per document sent. Instead it is charged on every trade confirmed in the one document. The exception to this is trades on US Markets where there are multiple trades in the same stock on the same account on the same day and in the same direction. Here these trades are treated as one notional trade and attract only one fee.
