BGC Account Type

　　BGC offers various types of brokerage accounts to meet the diverse needs of investors. The primary account types include:

• 　　Individual Brokerage Account: This account is owned by a single individual and allows for the buying and selling of securities such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds without any contribution limits or early withdrawal penalties.

• 　　Custodial Accounts: These accounts are set up for minors, allowing parents or guardians to manage investments on behalf of the child until they reach adulthood.

• 　　Retirement Accounts: BGC also provides options for tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as IRAs, which offer tax benefits for long-term savings.

• 　　Margin Accounts: This type of account allows investors to borrow funds from the brokerage to purchase securities, increasing potential returns but also adding risk.
