Breaking it down, 61 percent of the $33 billion is retail assets and 39 percent are institutional.

TD Ameritrade’s “Exceptional Results”

Steve Boyle is the interim president and chief executive officer. He said their results were exceptional. They’re very pleased with the growth in clients and assets.

This indicates the strength of their value proposition in an ‘all else equal’ marketplace.

Earnings have increased year-over-year despite the move to zero for most trades and zero interest rates. They again delivered double-digit net new client asset growth. This reflects the appeal of their offerings to both retail and institutional clients.

In the quarter, they launched “thinkorswim” Web with access to equity and derivative trading from any modern internet browser. This fulfills clients’ desire to access their award-winning trading technology with a fully synchronized experience on any device, and anywhere.

With one quarter still to go, they are approaching 2 million new funded accounts fiscal year-to-date. This is breaking their previous record of 1.3 million new funded accounts in the fiscal year of 2018.
