Midland Trust Company serves as the custodian of your retirement account, providing all tax reporting and recordkeeping services. TD Ameritrade serves as the broker, allowing you to buy/sell securities on their platform.

The TD Ameritrade account is held in the name of your Midland account. For example, Midland Trust Company as Custodian FBO Client Name Client Account Number.

Opening a TD Ameritrade brokerage account in the name of your Midland IRA allows you to consolidate all your assets into one IRA versus having multiple IRA accounts with different custodians.

2. The last known value based on the last statement or update received from you as the account owner
3. The amount that initially funded the trading account
