In the Aggregated Costs and Charges Report the Investment Services Costs are fees that are incurred on a one-time, transactional, ongoing or incidental basis to provide and perform investment services. These can be traced to your account statements and commonly include items such as:
- One-off – withholding taxes, ADR fees
- Ongoing – net debit/credit interest paid/received on free cash balances (does not include interest received from Stock Yield Enhancement Program, FDIC sweep, or Bond coupons), CFD fees
- Note that this is often a positive value which generally reflects net credit interest received
- Transactional – trading commissions, transaction fees (i.e. UK, IT stamp tax)
