This page does not consider all fees that might be applicable to your transaction and you should not rely on it to assess the total charges you may pay. Borrow fee rates and short sale proceeds are calculated based on settled stock positions. Costs for borrowing certain stocks may be elevated due to supply and demand dynamics in the Securities Lending market. Please note, these dynamics may lead to negative rebate rates if the borrow fee rate exceeds the short sale proceeds borrow fee rebate. Stock borrow fee rates may also vary by program or arrangement. The rates displayed on this page are for illustrative purposes only and are subject to change.
