The battle for ETF investors just went from hot to hotter. In October, TD Ameritrade became the latest brokerage firm to offer commission free online ETF trades.
The offer will apply to 100 preselected ETFs for TD's customers that hold the respective funds longer than 30 calendar days; otherwise the standard commission rate of $9.99 will apply.
The Omaha -based firm joins other companies like Charles Schwab, Fidelity and Vanguard that also offer their own versions of commission free ETF trading.
