SIPE Account Type

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

• Cash Account: This account requires you to pay the full amount for securities purchased. You cannot borrow funds to pay for transactions.

• Margin Account: This account allows you to borrow funds from the brokerage to purchase securities. It offers greater purchasing power but also exposes you to the potential for larger losses.

• Robo-Advisor Account: For those who prefer a hands-off approach, SIPE provides robo-advisor services that automate investment decisions based on your risk tolerance and financial goals.

• Retirement Accounts: SIPE may also offer tax-advantaged retirement accounts, such as IRAs, allowing for long-term growth.
