Anderson Brokerage Account Types

Anderson offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investment needs. The primary account types include:

• Cash Accounts: In this type of account, investors must pay the full amount for securities purchased. There is no borrowing involved, which limits risk.

• Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow money from the brokerage to purchase securities. While this can amplify gains, it also increases risk significantly, as investors must repay the borrowed amount plus interest.

• Custodial Accounts: Designed for minors, these accounts are managed by an adult until the child reaches adulthood. The adult can make investment decisions on behalf of the minor.

• Trust Accounts: These accounts are titled in the name of a trust, allowing for specific management of assets according to the trust's terms.

• Retirement Accounts: Anderson also offers various retirement accounts, including:

• Traditional IRAs: Contributions are tax-deductible, and withdrawals are taxed at retirement.
• Roth IRAs: Contributions are made after taxes, allowing for tax-free withdrawals in retirement.
• SEP IRAs: Suitable for self-employed individuals.
• Simple IRAs: Designed for small businesses.
