* Custody fees are assessed to accounts defined as inactive, i.e., accounts holding a security position for a calendar year (January 1 - December 31) without generating a trade, or free credit/margin interest of $100 or more. Systematic reinvestment activity in mutual funds (SRS system) and/or exchange activity in mutual funds (FundServ) will be considered as a trade. However, dividend reinvestment activity is not considered as a trade. Custody fees do not apply to ProCash Plus accounts, Pershing LLC retirement accounts or retirement accounts where Pershing acts as "Servicing Agent" and collects service fees for tax reporting etc. Accounts exclusively holding "book entry only" fixed income positions, an aggregate FundVest position of $10,000 or more, or an Alliance money fund balance of $10,000 per month or more will also be exempt from this fee. Finally, the annual custody fee will be discounted 50% for proprietary bank IRAs or for accounts that exclusively hold mutual funds.
