Does Fidelity charge fees?

Yes, Fidelity charges fees for certain services and products. Here are the key fees to consider:

1. Trading Fees: Fidelity charges a $0 service fee for buying and selling stocks, ETFs, and options. However, it may charge other fees, such as regulatory and government fees, which are passed on to customers.
2. Account Fees: Fidelity may charge account maintenance fees, inactivity fees, or annual fees, although these are typically waived for customers who engage in trading activities.
3. Mutual Fund Fees: Fidelity charges mutual fund fees, including expense ratios and transaction fees, for customers who invest in mutual funds not on the platform's no-fee list.
4. Other Fees: Fidelity may also charge fees for services such as mutual fund redemptions, account transfers, and wire transfers.

It's important to note that Fidelity offers a wide range of free services and products, including commission-free trading for stocks and ETFs, and it does not charge inactivity or non-trading fees for basic use. However, investors should carefully review the fee schedule and understand the costs associated with using Fidelity's services.
