You pay us an IA Program fee that covers investment advisory services, trade execution and custody at Merrill. The IA Program fee is based on the value of the assets in your account and the fee rates listed below:

• IAP: If you work with an Advisor, the Merrill fee rate you agree to with your Advisor (max 1.75%) or, if you work with an MFSA, the set Merrill fee rate (max 1.10%). If you select a managed strategy, your IAP fee will include a strategy manager fee based on the rate set by the manager, which is paid to them.

• SPA: The SPA rate you agree to with your Advisor (max 1.50%) for Merrill services. You will also pay a SPA manager fee based on the rate set by the manager, which is paid to them.

• MAS: The MAS rate you agree to with your Advisor (max 1.80%) for Merrill services. You will also pay a MAS manager fee based on the rate set by the manager, which is paid to them.

• MGI with Advisor and MEAA: 0.85%.

• MGI: 0.45%.

• IIC: The rate you agree to with your Advisor (max 0.45%).

• The Merrill fee component of the IA Program fee for IAP, SPA, MAS and IIC are negotiable. Depending on the IA Program, the fee is paid monthly or quarterly. The relevant IA Program brochure provides more detail about the fees and costs you may incur.

The more assets there are in your IA Program-enrolled account, the more you will pay in fees, giving us a financial incentive to encourage you to increase the assets in your account.

When we provide you with a recommendation as your broker-dealer or act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. At the same time, the ways we and our affiliates make money create some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the recommendations and investment advice we provide you. Here are some examples of conflicts to help you understand what this means:

• Affiliate benefits. Our affiliates receive compensation and/or economic benefits in connection with certain of the services provided and certain investment products that we recommend or make available to you.

• Third-party payments for services. We receive compensation from certain product sponsors for the sub-accounting and shareholder services we provide them. We also have agreements with certain product sponsors to pay us marketing support and other revenue sharing payments under certain circumstances. Certain product sponsors participate in financial advisor and client conferences, meetings and events and pay for the eligible expenses related to these events, including costs for those financial professionals attending.

• Principal trading. Some of your securities transactions will be executed with our affiliate BofAS. It makes money when executing your securities transactions as well as when acting as an underwriter for new issue offerings of securities offerings for corporate issuers.

Our financial professionals are compensated based on their offering of brokerage services and transactions in investment products, providing IA Program services and making referrals to Affiliates. Compensation payments present a conflict of interest. For brokerage services, the conflict arises based on the type and frequency of transactions in your Account. For IA Programs, the conflict arises based on the compensation we make due to your enrollment in a fee-based program and the fee that you agree to or are charged.

Advisors who join Merrill from other firms receive additional payments in connection with that move, and the amounts paid are generally based to a large extent on the size of the business at their prior firm and on assets that transfer including from the Advisor’s prior firm.

You will pay a fee for each transaction in a brokerage account. The types of fees you pay are known as commissions, mark-ups, mark-downs or sales charges. These fees can be a direct payment from you. For certain investment products, the product sponsor or the manager will pay the fees and costs to us based on the value of your investment.
