Kingsmen offers various account types to cater to different investor needs. Here are the primary types of accounts available:
Cash Accounts: The most basic type of brokerage account where investors fund their accounts with cash and use that money to purchase and sell securities. This account type is straightforward and carries the least risk.
Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow money from the broker to purchase securities, providing leverage to buy more than what is available in cash. However, this increases the risk of losses and requires maintaining a minimum balance.
Retirement Accounts: Specialized accounts designed for retirement savings, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Contributions may be tax-deductible, and gains are tax-deferred until withdrawal.
Joint Accounts: Accounts held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool funds and invest together. Each investor has access to the account and can make trades.
Proprietary Trading Accounts: Offered by proprietary trading firms, these accounts allow traders to trade using the firm's capital after passing a qualification process.
