Margin Rates

We use a blended rate based on the size of your balance. To calculate the blended rate, the first $100,000 is charged at the tier I rate, the next $900,000 at the tier II rate, etc. TC2000 Brokerage accrues interest on a daily basis and posts the actual interest monthly on the 3rd business day of the following month. The tiers which interest is based upon may change from time-to-time without prior notification to customers. Such adjustments are done periodically to adjust for changes in currency rates.

Tier	Balance	Interest Rate
Tier I	$0 to $100,000	7.83%
Tier II	$100,000.01 to $1,000,000	7.33%
Tier III	$1,000,000.01 to $50,000,000	7.08%
Tier IV	$50,000,000.01 to $200,000,000	6.83%
Tier V	$200,000,000+	6.83%
