MLC Account Type

　　MLC offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investor needs. The primary account types include:

• 　　Full-Service Brokerage Accounts: These accounts provide extensive investment advice and wealth management services from financial advisors. They typically charge higher fees, either through commissions on trades or flat advisor fees ranging from 0.5% to 2% of the total account balance.

• 　　Discount Brokerage Accounts: Ideal for do-it-yourself investors, these accounts offer lower fees compared to full-service brokers. They provide essential trading services without extensive advisory support. Many discount brokers have no minimum deposit requirements and charge no commissions for trades on most stocks and ETFs.

• 　　Robo-Advisor Accounts: These accounts use automated algorithms to manage investments with minimal human intervention. They generally charge lower fees (around 0.25% to 0.50% of assets under management) and have low account minimums, making them suitable for both new and experienced investors looking for a hands-off approach.

• 　　Cash Accounts: A basic account that requires cash deposits to buy investments. It does not allow for short-selling or margin trading.

• 　　Margin Accounts: These accounts allow investors to borrow funds from the broker to purchase securities, increasing purchasing power but also introducing higher risks.
