TD Ameritrade Review: What We Love About It

Charles Schwab just completed the merger with TD Ameritrade in October 2020 to unite around $6 tillion in assets and 28 million brokerage accounts. While the complete integration of the two companies may take 18 to 36 months. TD Ameritrade would continue to operate as a stand-alone company before the integration is complete.
