Fidelity Account Type

　　Fidelity offers several types of accounts to meet the diverse needs of investors. The primary account types include:

• 　　Brokerage Account: A standard taxable account that allows you to buy and sell stocks, ETFs, and other securities without tax benefits. There are no contribution limits, and you can withdraw funds at any time.
