Foxconn offers different types of brokerage accounts to cater to various investment needs. The primary account types include:
Cash Account: This account requires full payment for each security purchase. It does not allow for borrowing funds and typically has a three-day settlement period following trades.
Margin Account: This account allows investors to borrow money from the brokerage to purchase securities, enabling them to buy more shares than they could in a cash account. The margin account operates on a 2:1 leverage ratio, meaning investors can buy twice as many shares. However, interest is charged on the borrowed amount.
Tax-Advantaged Accounts: These include Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k) accounts, where funds can grow tax-free until withdrawal, which may incur penalties if taken out before a designated age.
