Making the Right Decisions

Opening an Account

  • Be honest when filling out a new account form.  Your broker or representative cannot recommend investments to you unless he or she understands your complete financial picture and the level of risk you are willing to accept.
  • Do not sign the form until it is completed, the information is accurate and you understand and are willing to accept the terms and conditions it imposes upon you.  Take your time.  Ask questions and read the fine print.
