The example includes another initial charge

Birch’s structure notes identify a wire charge in addition to setup. The first-year calculator includes that listed wire charge for its Birch example. The underlying account provider, rather than Birch, receives the custodian and depository charges.

Repurchase terms remain a question

No verified Birch buyback terms are included in the supplied fee records. Ask for the repurchase process and an actual bid before assuming that a future sale will have no separate charge or spread.
