One of the key features of investment and brokerage
accounts is the flexibility that allows individuals to save,
accumulate, and withdraw money as needed.
Investment and brokerage accounts can hold a variety of investments such as securities, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETF’s), bonds, unit investment trusts (UIT’s), certificate of deposits (CD’s), cash, and other holdings. There is added flexibility with these accounts in that they could allow check writing privileges, online bill pay, debit cards, or even systematic withdrawals or deposits. Proceeds can be deposited from your bank, pension, or Social Security.
