Lower Your Costs to Maximize Your Return
Our transparent, low commissions and financing rates, and best price executions minimize your costs to help you maximize your returns.
Generate Higher Returns
Lower commissions, no ticket charges; no minimums; and no technology, software, platform, or reporting fees. Low financing rates, and higher loan values on portfolio margin accounts over $100K.
Best Price Execution

BMC SmartRoutingSM continuously searches and reroutes to the best available prices for stocks, options and combinations.
