Typically at the heart of every portfolio, stocks may provide a portion of ownership in a company. There are two main types of stocks: common and preferred. Common stocks may provide the owner with dividends as well as voting rights at shareholder meetings. Preferred stocks do not usually include voting rights, but make up for this by offering a higher claim on assets and earnings.

Stocks offer a way to diversify your investment strategy based on the businesses and sectors you choose to invest in. To help you build a sound investment strategy utilizing stocks, we offer a number of powerful tools and platforms to make researching and trading convenient.

Diversification is about attempting to reduce overall portfolio risk, while optimizing returns for a given risk level, by combining multiple assets. Asset allocation looks to structure a portfolio with asset classes that don't all behave the same. By investing in bonds and CDs with Lumentrades you open the potential for both. Offering typically lower risk exposure than equities and improved tax efficiency, bonds and CDs give you a number of options including a three month to five year maturity range for CDs, and varying grade, type, and maturity date for bonds.

Additionally, we make finding suitable bonds and CDs easier with tools like Bond Wizard and our CD Center, which let you research and analyze the potential of any interesting opportunity.

Mutual funds consist of funds collected from many investors that are pooled together for the purpose of investing in stocks, bonds, money market instruments and similar assets. Operated by money managers, these funds provide broad diversification and cover a range of investment objectives, philosophies, asset classes, and risk exposure. The investment objective of any given mutual fund is stated in its prospectus and should be reflected by the portfolio’s structure.

With over 13,000 choices from leading fund families, we offer you one of the largest selections of mutual funds, including a broad range of no-transaction-fee (NTF) funds, to help you round out your portfolio. And with Lumentrades, you’ll get access to tools, like mutual fund screeners and research from the Premier List

ETFs are often compared to mutual funds. ETFs are similar because they are a “basket” of investments. But they trade more like stocks. It’s important to note that, although ETFs may help you to diversify your portfolio with a basket of holdings, not all ETFs provide diversification—it just depends on the individual holdings and risk involved with each one. When you invest in ETFs with us, you’ll gain access to 300+ commission-free ETFs, from leading providers with research and ratings. You’ll also get access to our industry-leading trading platforms, a variety of ETF research, screeners, and more.
