CSB Account Type

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:

• Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship: Both owners have equal rights, and the surviving owner inherits the entire account upon the death of one owner.
• Tenants in Common: No rights of survivorship exist; the deceased owner's share goes to their estate.
• Community Property: Available only to married couples, assets are split 50/50, and upon death, the share goes to the estate.

• 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.
