How To Sell Stocks On 
TD Ameritrade

​

TD Ameritrade is a broker that offers an electronic trading platform for the trade of financial assets, including common stocks, preferred stocks, futures contracts, exchange-traded funds, forex, options, cryptocurrency, mutual funds, fixed income investments, margin lending, and cash management services.

 

The company was founded as Ameritrade in 1971 before the company acquired competitor TD Waterhouse from the Toronto-Dominion Bank in 2006. The newly combined company was then renamed TD Ameritrade, with Toronto-Dominion Bank keeping about 40 percent minority ownership. In October 2020, Charles Schwab Corporation acquired TD Ameritrade in a $22-billion stock deal that gave Toronto-Dominion Bank 13 percent minority ownership in Charles Schwab.

 

TD Ameritrade was initially based in Omaha, Nebraska, with major trading centers in Southlake, Texas, and St. Louis, Missouri. Charles Schwab plans to move most of the operations to a new combined headquarters in the Dallas Fort Worth metropolis.

​

As of March 31, 2020, TD Ameritrade had more than 12 million client accounts and client assets of approximately $1.2 trillion. In fiscal 2020 second quarter, the company executed an average of 2.1 million daily average revenue trades per day.

In fiscal 2019, the company derived 33.3% of its revenues from commissions and fees, including payment for order flow, 28.5% of its revenues from the company's bank deposit account program, 25.5% of revenues from interest, 9.7% from investment product fees, and 3% from other sources.
