E*TRADE is now the only major online broker to offer Vanguard ETFs commission-free

E*TRADE Financial Corporation (NASDAQ: ETFC) today announced it has surpassed 250 commission-free ETFs with the addition of 46 ETFs from six providers to its Commission-Free ETF Program, all of which are non-proprietary:

• New additions include 32 Vanguard ETFs, in addition to ETFs from Direxion, iShares, Janus Henderson, NuShares, and Reality Shares.
• E*TRADE customers can further diversify their portfolio with commission-free domestic, international, fixed income, environmentally conscious, and other specialty equity ETFs.
• With these additions, E*TRADE now offers more than 250 commission-free ETFs.

“With this expansion, we are thrilled to be a premier destination for investors seeking commission-free access to these popular ETFs,” said Rich Messina, SVP of Investment Product at E*TRADE Financial. “It’s now easier than ever for E*TRADE customers to achieve comprehensive diversification across practically any asset class, and do so inexpensively. These additions can fill a tactical void for a multitude of strategies—from tracking broad indexes to seeking higher returns to defending against changing market conditions to pursuing factor-based sector exposure—while providing commission-free access to some of the most active, well-known ETFs available today.”

About E*TRADE’s Commission-Free ETF Program

You can buy and sell the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) available through the E*TRADE Securities Commission-Free ETF Program without paying brokerage commissions. For margin customers, certain ETFs purchased through the program are not margin eligible for 30 days from the purchase date. To discourage short-term trading, E*TRADE Securities may charge a short-term trading fee on sales of participating ETFs held less than 30 days. The list of commission-free ETFs is subject to change at any time without notice.

E*TRADE Securities LLC (ETS) has contracted with certain ETF companies to receive compensation in connection with the purchase of ETFs offered commission-free through ETS. This additional compensation is paid by an affiliate of the ETF. The compensation ETS receives as a result of these relationships is paid based on initial setup fees, and a percentage of invested assets ranging from 0 to 0.15% per annum, depending on the fund company.

If you have any questions about the Commission-Free ETF Program, call us anytime at 800-ETRADE-1 (800-387-2331).
