Fidelity Account Type

　　Fidelity offers a variety of brokerage account types to cater to different investment needs and preferences. The primary account types include:

• 　　Brokerage Account: A standard taxable account that allows investors to buy and sell a wide range of securities without tax advantages. There are no limits on contributions or withdrawals.

• 　　Traditional IRA: A retirement account that provides tax benefits, allowing contributions to grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, which is taxed as income.

• 　　Roth IRA: This retirement account is funded with after-tax dollars, allowing for tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement.

• 　　Joint Account: Suitable for couples or business partners, allowing multiple individuals to manage investments collaboratively.

• 　　Custodial Account: Designed for minors, where a designated adult manages the investments until the minor reaches adulthood.

• 　　Trust Account: Used for estate planning, allowing trustees to manage assets according to the grantor's wishes.
