Velociti offers various types of accounts to cater to different investment needs. The primary account types include:
Cash Account: This type of account allows investors to buy and sell securities using their own funds without borrowing. There is often a three-day settlement period following each trade, and some asset types may have limitations.
Margin Account: In this account, investors can leverage their funds at a ratio of 2:1, allowing them to buy twice as many shares as they could in a cash account. This account permits same-day settlement but incurs interest on any amount used over the accounts equity balance.
Tax-Advantaged Accounts: These include Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and 401(k) accounts, where funds can be deposited but may not be withdrawn without penalties until the investor reaches a designated age.
Participant-Directed Brokerage Accounts: Velociti allows participants to direct the investment of their retirement accounts, providing flexibility in managing their investments.
Opening a brokerage account with Velociti is a straightforward process that typically involves the following steps:
