From an official TD Ameritrade email this morning (links below for current list versus new list):
Dear Valued Client,
We're happy to announce that we are expanding our commission-free exchange-traded funds (ETFs) trading program, nearly tripling the number of available commission-free funds to 296. Since you're currently enrolled in the commission-free ETF trading program, we want to be sure you have all the details so you can determine how these changes can meet your investing needs.
Updates to Funds List
We will be replacing most of the ETFs currently on the commission-free ETF list with a broad new selection of funds from AGFiQ QuantShares, First Trust Portfolios, iShares ETFs, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, PowerShares by Invesco, ProShares, State Street Global Advisors' SPDR Business, and WisdomTree Investments. These new ETF choices will be available in the ETF Market Center beginning October 17, 2017.
Current ETFs will remain on the commission-free list through November 20, 2017. Beginning November 21, 2017, they will trade at our standard low commission rates.
The new ETFs will provide access to low-cost ETFs in the same asset classes that the current ETFs provide, along with several new asset classes. If you choose to replace any current position on the commission-free list with an ETF from the new list by November 20, 2017, you will not be charged commissions for either trade.
Additional Program Change
We'll be removing our short-term trading fee of $19.99. This change will go into effect on November 21, 2017.
These changes are part of our ongoing effort to provide low-cost investment choices that can help you pursue your financial goals. We're glad you chose TD Ameritrade, and we'll continue doing all we can to improve your trading experience.
If you have any questions, please let us know. You can log in to your account and go to Client Services > Message Center to write us, or call a Participant Services Representative at 866-766-4015. We're available 7 A.M. - 6 P.M. ET, Monday through Friday, excluding market holidays.
