Chariton Account Type

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

• Cash Accounts: In a cash account, investors must pay the full amount for securities purchased. This account is ideal for those who want to limit their risk and avoid borrowing. Investors can only use the cash available in the account to make purchases.

• Margin Accounts: Margin accounts allow investors to borrow funds from Chariton to purchase securities. This account type provides leverage, enabling investors to buy more securities than they could with their cash alone. However, it comes with higher risks, as investors may face margin calls if the value of their securities declines.

• Joint Accounts: Joint accounts are held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool their funds for investment purposes. This account type is commonly used by spouses or family members.

• Retirement Accounts: Chariton also offers specialized accounts for retirement savings, such as IRAs, which provide tax advantages to help investors save for their future.
