Letian offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investment needs and goals. The primary account types include:
Cash Accounts: Investors must pay the full amount for securities purchased with cash. No borrowing is allowed, making this account ideal for those who want to limit risk.
Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow money from the broker to purchase securities. This leverage can amplify both potential gains and losses, making it suitable for more experienced traders.
Retirement Accounts: Letian provides options for tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, enabling investors to save for retirement while benefiting from tax deferral or tax-free growth.
Joint Accounts: These accounts are held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool their resources and invest together.
Custodial Accounts: Designed for minors, these accounts allow adults to manage investments on behalf of children until they reach adulthood.
