Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘brokerage account’

Hey Guys
I have a brokerage account with my personal bank(lets call it ABC).ABC charges me some fees when i buy No-Load index funds from vanguard.is it possible to buy those funds directly from vanguard without having an account with them?
also a more general question,is it a good idea to invest in index funds (vanguard or any other) if i need a modest return (may be 7%-10%).i know it will be speculation but just some experience from investors will help:)
Thanks
@Martha

I would like to purchase an index fund and consistently buy more funds on a monthly basis. So my question is, how do i buy an index fund without the high commission charges by the brokerage account?
What type of account do i need? I currently have a stock trading account that enables me to buy individual stock.

Thank You.

I am planning to save up about 300k to buy a house in the next 2 years. Right now i have about 50k total that i’ll continue to contribute to save.
Should i put my money in a money-market saving like HSBC/ING Direct or put my money in bonds and CDs in a brokerage account?

What’s the best account for me??

I signed up for the most basic brokerage account. I have about 0 in my investment account. It will not let me buy index funds such as the S&P 500 Index fund.

I thought I was opening a mutual fund account with a large mutual fund company. I already have a Traditional IRA mutual account with them. When I opened the ROTH IRA account online I didn’t realize it was a brokerage account. I’m a saver not an investor. I have 20 years with this company, however they won’t waive the fee for this account. Worst of all it was hidden in the pull down electronic agreement so I didn’t see it. They are playing hard nose and won’t budge, not even for an old client.
