- While Schwab does not charge the custodial fee, you will quickly save the
- $25 yearly fee that Waterhouse charges in commission charges. Really
- depends on what you intend to do and how many trades. If you are going to
- stick with the no commission mutual funds that Schwab offers, then you will
- obviously come out ahead there. However, if you are going to trade stocks,
- you will quickly recoup the $25 yearly fee, likely in a single trade!
-
- BTW, I think Waterhouse even waives the fee for the first year and gives
- you your first trade free.
