1   Annual IRA Fees are waived for 1) any IRA established as a Managed or Advisory Choice account provided the minimum account value requirement is met, 2) all IRAs in statement households (Baird + networked) having greater than $100,000 and less than $250,000 in total assets, where the household incurred at least $1,000 in fees/commissions for the trailing 12-month period ending on September 30.
 
2 The annual fee for each additional Traditional or Roth IRA will be waived for statement households having between $100,000 and $250,000 in total assets provided you deposit a new rollover contribution of at least $5,000 or “fully fund” your IRA ($5,000 in 2012) by December 31 each year.
3 Baird charges a $100 annual account service fee for select accounts in statement households (Baird + networked) as of the cutoff date, which is the last business day of November. Each eligible account within these households will be charged the annual account service fee in December. Accounts outside of statement households will be considered independent households for the assessment of the fee, subject to the $100,000 minimum in total assets. See the “Account Fees and Service Charges” section of the Annual Disclosure Notice for a complete list of account types that are exempt from the annual account service fee.
 
4 If sufficient funds or securities are not received for a trade by settlement date or funds are requested prior to settlement date of a liquidation, Baird reserves the right to charge interest to the account in accordance with Baird’s established custom. Interest charges will accrue from settlement date for the transaction until full and final payment is made or from the day funds are paid out of the account until settlement date of the liquidation. Visit rwbaird.com/loanrates for complete margin rate information. Rates are subject to change without notice.
 
5 The closing fee is waived for Coverdell Education Savings Accounts that are closed as a result of the assets having been withdrawn according to the account’s intended purpose.
 
6 Advisory Accounts are not subject to this fee.
 
7 The physical exchange of one certificate for another as part of a reorganization activity; only applies to certificates in customer name.
