Tharks offers various types of brokerage accounts to cater to different investment needs. The primary account types include:
Cash Account: This is the simplest type of account where investors can only trade with the cash they have deposited. No borrowing is allowed, making it a low-risk option for beginners.
Margin Account: This account allows investors to borrow money from Tharks to purchase securities. It enables the use of leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. Investors must maintain a minimum balance and pay interest on borrowed funds.
Retirement Accounts: Tharks provides specialized accounts such as Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, which offer tax advantages for long-term savings. These accounts have specific contribution limits and withdrawal rules.
Joint Accounts: These accounts are held by two or more individuals, allowing them to pool their resources and invest together.
Robo-Advisory Accounts: Automated investment accounts that use algorithms to manage portfolios based on individual goals and risk tolerance, typically at lower fees.
