Did you know, Medicare provides health insurance coverage for more than 65 million people, almost 20% of the U.S. population?

Receiving Monthly Statements from Charles Schwab & TD Ameritrade 

The long-awaited Schwab and TD Ameritrade merger is complete!  What you should look for as the first month at Schwab draws to a close.

The long-awaited Schwab and TD Ameritrade merger is complete!  What should you look for as the first month at Schwab draws to a close? 

Clients who had accounts at TD Ameritrade will receive both a TD Ameritrade and a Schwab statement in October for the month of September.  Most TD Ameritrade statements will show a zero balance, as accounts have transitions to Schwab.  If you see a small residual balance at TD Ameritrade, please note that this residual balance will move to Schwab in the coming days and weeks.  You will continue to receive a TD Ameritrade monthly statement until the account is fully at zero.  

Once your TD Ameritrade account balance shows zero, you will stop receiving statements from TD Ameritrade and will only receive statements from Schwab. 

If you wish to receive statements and confirmations from Schwab electronically, you must establish your SchwabAlliance profile (information was sent from Schwab and was included in previous emails from Annex) in order to view and access statements and confirmation on Schwab’s site.  Even if you had electronic statement delivery at TD Ameritrade, you must establish your SchwabAlliance credentials within 90 days of the conversion (December 4) or you will be converted to paper statements and confirmations from Schwab. 

Please contact your Wealth Manager or Client Service Manager with any immediate questions.

The Annex team regularly seeks out opportunities to support and participate in events throughout the community.   

Staff from Annex’s Appleton Branch participated in the Walk to Defeat ALS to benefit the ALS Association. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, fatal neuromuscular disease that slowly robs the body of its ability to walk, speak, swallow and breathe. The life expectancy of a person with ALS averages from 2-5 years from the time of diagnosis. ALS can strike anyone & presently there’s no known cause of the disease.  

If you missed the first two opportunities, please consider joining our team in the Walk to Defeat ALS to bring hope & raise awareness in Madison, WI on Saturday, October 21, 2023 (Register). Annex Wealth Management is a proud sponsor of the ALS Association & the Walk to Defeat ALS.
