Itochu Account Type

　　Itochu Corporation offers various types of accounts for investors looking to engage in trading activities. The most common types of accounts include:

• Cash Account: This account allows investors to buy and sell securities using the cash available in the account. No borrowed funds are utilized, making it a straightforward option for beginners.
• Margin Account: A margin account enables investors to borrow money from the brokerage to purchase securities, allowing for greater purchasing power. However, this comes with increased risk as losses can exceed the initial investment.
• Tax-Advantaged Accounts: Itochu may offer options for tax-advantaged accounts, similar to NISA in Japan, which allow for tax-free capital gains on investments made within certain limits.
