Frequently asked questions
Does every broker offer every account type?
No — account type availability varies significantly by broker and by market, which is why it's checked and shown per broker rather than assumed.
What's the practical difference between account types?
Mainly who owns the assets, how they're taxed, and what reporting applies — a joint account splits ownership between two people, while a tax-advantaged account changes how gains are taxed, for example.
