On the Custodian Transaction Fee section of the Fee Schedules page, you can add or change mutual fund fees charged by your custodians on a per-transaction basis. This lets Tamarac Trading calculate the correct transaction fees for clients' accounts.
You can set up a flat fee, a percentage fee, or a flat and percentage fee. You can also add tiers for fees that are charged at certain dollar thresholds. For example, if a custodian charges a lower fee for transactions over $1,000. You can add an additional tier to account for the lowered rate.
For a closer look at fee schedules in Tamarac Trading, see Introduction to Fee Schedules.
