Fidelity Investments plans to charge investors a $100 service fee on exchange-traded funds purchased from nine firms that don’t have maintenance arrangements with the financial services giant, a spokesman confirmed.

Fidelity plans to put the fees into effect on June 3, according to a CityWire report, which is based on a Bloomberg story that Fidelity has confirmed. The charge covers costs associated with listing the ETFs on Fidelity’s platform, according to the reports.

The list of affected firms — Adaptive, AXS Investments, Cambiar, Day Hagan, Rayliant, Regents Park, Running Oak, Simplify Asset Management and Sterling Capital — could change, CityWire reported.

“We remain committed to providing clients choice with an open architecture investment platform. Support fees help maintain the technology and service operations needed to ensure a secure and positive experience for investors,” a Fidelity spokesman told ThinkAdvisor via email Friday.

CityWire, citing the Bloomberg report, said the charge represents less than 0.5% of mutual funds and ETFs available to advisors on Fidelity’s platform. The company wouldn’t clarify to CityWire, however, whether the fee also will apply to mutual funds.
