Koos Account Type

Koos offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investor needs. Here are the primary account types available:

• Standard Brokerage Account: This is the most common type of account, allowing investors to buy and sell a range of securities such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds using cash. It provides flexibility and control over investments, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced investors.

• Margin Account: This account allows investors to borrow funds from the broker to purchase additional securities. While this can amplify potential returns, it also increases risk, as investors must pay interest on borrowed funds and maintain a minimum balance.

• Retirement Accounts: Koos offers specialized retirement accounts, such as Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, which provide tax advantages for long-term savings. Contributions to these accounts may be tax-deductible, and earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawal.

• Custodial Accounts: Designed for minors, these accounts are managed by an adult custodian until the child reaches adulthood. They allow for investment on behalf of the child while providing tax advantages.

• Education Savings Accounts: These accounts, like 529 plans, are aimed at saving for educational expenses. They offer tax benefits when funds are used for qualified education costs.
