Brokerage Firms We Track

The lines between checking, savings, credit, and investing are blurring as large traditional banks, small fintech startups and everything in between offer integrated features and "super apps" for all of your personal finance needs. It's time for us to track brokerage firms and low-cost investments with the same detail as other financial products. The brokerage firms listed below offer lots of features for beginner and advanced investors alike.

All the accounts listed here are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC) against the loss of cash and securities held by a customer. SIPC protects your funds in the case that the broker fails, but it does not protect against investment losses from the market.

Low-Cost ETFs and Mutual Funds

Index funds are popular and important components for a diversified investment strategy. With so many exchange-traded funds (ETF) and mutual funds tracking the same index, fees may be the deciding factor for choosing an investment. Expense ratio is the annual percent of your total investment that you pay to the fund manager. Most of the investment funds listed here will be widely available from all brokerage firms. Some brokerage firms may charge additional transaction fees for products managed by their competitors.
