FINRA collects the required data via FINRA’s Customer Margin Balance Form. The data is compiled in aggregate form and made available below.

Fund Analyzer

Originally introduced in 2005, the FINRA Fund Analyzer helps investors and financial professionals understand the impact of fees and potentially  available discounts on mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, exchange-traded notes and money market funds. The Fund Analyzer allows individuals to sort through and compare products available to investors today and calculates how a fund's fees, expenses and discounts impact the value of a fund over time.
