Brokerage Services
Print
A brokerage account with Modern Woodmen of America allows you to buy and sell securities such as stocks, mutual funds, corporate and municipal bonds, treasury securities and unit investment trusts. Comprehensive asset management accounts also allow you to combine your brokerage, check-writing, money market fund and Master Card® debit card activity into a cohesive package, which is reported to you on a single consolidated statement.


Advantages  

Automatic reinvestment 
Dividends and capital gains from your portfolio holdings can be automatically reinvested, allowing those assets to continue to grow.  Alternatively, you can have your distributions deposited in a money market fund, making them readily available.  

Cost-basis calculations
Cost-basis calculations can be shown on Modern Woodmen brokerage account statements.  These calculations make it easy for you to determine the potential gain or loss you might incur, before you commit your funds.  

Margin accounts
Margin accounts may be opened for sophisticated investors seeking to leverage their buying power.  In margin accounts, borrowing power is used to purchase additional securities or as a line of credit, extending your financial reach.  The amount you borrow will accrue interest charges, and your available credit limit will be determined by considering the value of your marginable securities.
