Frequently Asked Questions
Should you open a brokerage account or use a financial advisor?
Brokerage accounts give you full control over investment choices and are ideal if you want to pick individual stocks or have specific strategies. Financial advisors manage diversified portfolios for you and work well if you prefer a hands-off approach.
What's the difference between a taxable investment account and a retirement account?
A taxable investment account has no contribution limits or withdrawal restrictions, but you pay taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains. Retirement accounts like 401(k)s and IRAs offer tax advantages but have contribution limits and penalties for early withdrawals before age 59½.
What's the minimum amount needed to start investing?
Many brokerages now have no minimum balance requirements. You can start with as little as $1 through fractional shares or index funds.
What fees should you expect with an investment account?
Common fees include management fees (0.03% to 1%+ annually), trading commissions (often $0 for stocks and ETFs), account maintenance fees, and expense ratios for mutual funds and ETFs.
