SSAT Account Type

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

• Cash Account: This is the most basic type of brokerage account where investors can only purchase securities using the cash available in their account. It is considered low risk since investors cannot borrow funds.

• Margin Account: In this account type, investors can borrow money from SSAT to purchase additional securities, allowing for greater investment potential. However, this increases the risk as investors must maintain a minimum balance and can face margin calls if the value of their investments declines significantly.

• Joint Account: This account allows two or more individuals to pool their funds and invest together. It is typically used by couples or business partners.

• Retirement Accounts: SSAT may also offer specialized accounts for retirement savings, allowing investors to save with tax advantages.
