CSB offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investor needs. The primary account types include:
Individual Brokerage Account: This account is owned by a single individual and allows for personal investment management without the need for a joint partner. It provides flexibility in trading and investment decisions.
Joint Brokerage Account: Shared between two or more individuals, this account is ideal for couples or family members looking to pool their investments. There are three sub-types:
Margin Account: This account allows investors to borrow against their securities to increase purchasing power. It is suitable for more experienced traders looking to leverage their investments.
Robo-Advisor Account: An automated investment option that manages portfolios using algorithms. This is ideal for beginners or those preferring a hands-off investment approach.
