Regulatory fees

When trading on the U.S. market, there are regulatory fees when it comes to selling shares. These are charged independently to Stake's fees and are automatically applied.


These sell side fees are:

  • SEC Fee (sell side only), of $0.2290 per US$10,000 of 
sale proceeds, rounded to the nearest cent. 
  • FINRA's TAF Fee (sell side only): $0.000130 per share with a per-transaction cap of $6.49, rounded to the nearest cent.

You will see these recorded on trade confirmations and statements.


ADR fees

If you invest in an American Depository Receipt (ADRs), they may be subject to periodic fees. These fees are intended to compensate the agent bank providing custodial services on behalf of the ADR, and are usually in the range $0.01 - $0.03 per share.


In ADRs which pay dividends, the fee will be deducted from the dividend. For an ADR that does not pay a dividend, fees will be reflected on your monthly statement. 


You can review ADR prospectuses by searching through SEC's company search.
