Disclosures

1. Fractional share trading is available on an opt-in basis and is not enabled by default.

2. Fee examples: a $50 fractional share purchase incurs a $0.50 fee; a $500 fractional share purchase incurs a $5.00 fee; and the purchase of 1 full share of a $50 stock incurs a $1.00 fee. The first two reflect the 1% fractional share trading fee (transactions of less than 1 share); the third reflects the standard platform fee ($0.0055/share, minimum $1.00 per order, capped at 2% of the transaction amount), which applies to transactions of 1 share or more.

3. In the event the calculated maximum per order is less than the minimum per order, the maximum per order will be assessed. For example, a purchase to buy 10 shares of a $0.20 stock will be charged $0.04 (10 shares × $0.0055/share = $0.055 commission; minimum $1.00 per order; capped at 10 shares × $0.20 × 2% = $0.04).

4. Please note that relevant SEC & FINRA fees may still apply. For options trading, commissions will be charged on a per contract basis. With each newly opened options trading account, three complimentary option contracts will be provided for use within the first 90 days. You may purchase options packages, which remain valid for 90 days from the purchase date. Any unused contracts after 90 days will expire. If you exhaust the number of contracts in your package, you can purchase additional packages at any time. In case you choose not to purchase extra packages, a charge of $0.99 per contract will be applicable.

MyAdvisor’s AUM-based advisory fees

0.50% / annum

The fee structure for managed portfolios in BBAE’s MyAdvisor is a flat rate of 0.50% per annum of assets under management (AUM). This fee applies to all portfolios, regardless of their specific investment strategy or composition, and covers all brokerage transaction fees and rebalancing services for your portfolio. We prioritize transparency and simplicity in our fee structures, ensuring that there are no surprises or hidden charges.

All fees are assessed on a monthly basis at the beginning of each month for the previous month’s activity. To determine the Assets Under Management (AUM) fee, we evaluate the average balance over the prior month. The fee is calculated using a 365-day basis.

Margin interest refers to the interest charged on borrowed money against securities you already own. When you purchase stocks or other investments on margin through BBAE, you deposit some of your own money, and borrow the remaining amount. BBAE’s current margin interest rates will apply to this borrowed amount.

For example, if you open a $100,000 position with BBAE but deposit only $50,000, you have used $50,000 of margin and must pay interest according to BBAE’s margin interest rates.

The margin interest rates are effective as of 12/10/2025 and are subject to change without prior notice. These rates are stated on a per annum (annual) basis.

Using margin through BBAE amplifies your gains and losses, allowing you to earn greater returns on your investments when markets perform well but also exposing you to greater losses when markets decline. Borrowing more on margin increases risk.  You may face margin calls from BBAE, be forced to deposit additional funds or sell securities to maintain the margin requirements on the positions, or have positions liquidated without notice if your account balance falls below the maintenance margin level.

Margin can be a useful tool for some investors, but you must fully understand the risks before trading on margin through BBAE. Due to the additional leverage and volatility, margin is best suited only for experienced investors seeking to aggressively amplify returns. Please review all of BBAE’s margin policies, rates, and requirements before using margin in your account.
