What investment services and advice can you provide me?
We offer the following investment services:
- the ability to buy and sell mutual funds, ETFs and a 529 education savings plan managed or advised by one of our affiliates (the “proprietary products”) directly with the product sponsor;
- the ability to buy and sell equities, mutual funds and ETFs on our self-directed brokerage platform; and
- in limited circumstances, the ability to buy private funds managed or advised by one of our affiliates.
We choose to only recommend certain account types, and within them a limited subset of proprietary products that are distributed by us and managed by one of our affiliates. We make our recommendations by considering your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and other relevant information. We do not make recommendations unless we believe it is in your best interest. As a result, we may decline to make a recommendation to you.
We do not provide ongoing monitoring of your investments; however, you may request a recommendation for new or existing proprietary products at any time by accessing our digital recommendation tool or by calling our contact center. In all cases, you make the ultimate decision regarding the purchase or sale of investments. Additional details regarding our products and services, including investment minimums, fees and expenses, investment objectives, and risks associated with each investment product can be found on our website, or other regulatory or offering documents.
