Direct Trading Accounts
Direct trading is available to you in the form of Cash or Margin Accounts. Whether you already have a specific vehicle in mind for your investments or you require the input of a trusted Dekker Hewett Advisor, matching your preferences, goals and resources with the right account type is the first step to ensuring your investments deliver the desired results.
Cash Accounts
A cash account is a basic investing account available in Canadian or US currency; these accounts can hold any of the investments that the Dekker Hewett Group at Canaccord offers, except options. You may also transfer cash accounts you hold at other investment firms without triggering a sale or paying a commission. Contact your Dekker Hewett Group Advisor for details.
Margin Accounts
Margin accounts allow you to borrow against the market value of your investments, either to increase your holdings, or for an outside purpose. The size of the permissible loan varies by your portfolio structure, the investments you own, their market value, and your risk tolerance.
Margin accounts are also used for options trading and short-selling. Available in Canadian or US dollars, margin accounts are transferable from one firm to another. Contact your Dekker Hewett Group Advisor for details.
