Fidelity Is Latest to Cut Online Trading Commissions to Zero

October 10, 2019

Wall Street’s digitization has reset many of the fundamental costs of investing

 

Fidelity Investments eliminated trading commissions on its online brokerage, matching a step some of its biggest rivals unveiled last week.

Beginning early Thursday, Fidelity stopped charging individual investors commissions on online trades of U.S. stocks, exchange-traded funds and options trades. For investment advisers, commissions will be cut to zero on Nov. 4. Fidelity’s online brokerage has 21.8 million accounts.
