SHIGA Account Type

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

• Cash Account: In this type of account, investors must pay the full amount for securities purchased. This account does not allow borrowing from the broker, making it a low-risk option for those who prefer straightforward transactions.

• Margin Account: This account allows investors to borrow money from the brokerage to purchase securities. The securities in the investor's portfolio serve as collateral for the loan. Margin accounts offer the potential for higher returns but come with increased risk due to the possibility of margin calls.

• Retirement Accounts: While specific details about retirement accounts were not provided, these accounts typically offer tax-deferred savings for retirement purposes.

• Joint Accounts: These accounts are held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool their funds and invest together.
