One of the aspects I appreciated in my E*TRADE review is that they do not charge account minimums or maintenance fees, which is great for new and smaller investors. While there are no inactivity fees, it’s important to be aware of other potential costs, such as regulatory and exchange fees, that may apply to certain trades. Overall, I found E*TRADE’s fee structure transparent and competitive compared to other brokers like TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and Ally Invest.
