Fidelity Account Type

Fidelity offers various types of accounts suitable for different investing needs, including Cash Accounts, Margin Accounts, and Retirement Accounts (such as IRAs). A Cash Account allows you to trade using only the funds you have deposited, while a Margin Account permits you to borrow money from Fidelity to invest, thereby amplifying both potential returns and risks. Fidelity's Retirement Accounts provide tax advantages for long-term savings, allowing you to grow your investments tax-deferred or tax-free, depending on the account type.
