Manhattan offers various types of brokerage accounts suitable for different investment strategies and goals. The primary account types include:
Taxable Brokerage Accounts: These accounts allow investors to buy and sell a wide range of securities, including stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds. They do not provide tax-deferred growth, but investors can access their funds at any time without penalties. Earnings are taxed in the year they are realized, with capital gains taxed at favorable rates.
Retirement Accounts: These include traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, which provide tax advantages for retirement savings. Contributions to traditional IRAs may be tax-deductible, while withdrawals from Roth IRAs are tax-free in retirement.
Cash Accounts: In cash accounts, investors can only trade with the funds they have deposited. This type of account is suitable for beginners who prefer to avoid the risks associated with margin trading.
Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow money from the brokerage to purchase securities, enabling them to leverage their investments. However, they come with higher risks, including margin calls.
