Learn More About the Self-Directed Brokerage Account (SDBA)

To find out if your current employer plan allows for a SDBA, you will want to contact your HR team or plan sponsor directly. If you feel more comfortable having a financial professional jump on the call with you, we are happy to assist. Simply click the Book a Consultation button above to reserve your spot with experienced Financial Advisor, Ronnie Soto.

What to know: A SDBA is an actively-managed account that provides access to more options than what your current plan may be offering to its employees. It can be a good fit for those who seek alternative options to diversify their employer plan portfolio, allowing both investor and their financial professional to further "customize" the allocations based on the former's goals and needs.

Resources for you: The two-minute video provided below helps to summarize the core concepts of what a SDBA is and how it may act as an entryway into a broader range of investment options. The featured HCM Freedom of Choice brochure takes a closer look at how Howard Capital Management provides SDBA support for investors like you.

The HCM-BuyLine®

All investments are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor’s shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original costs. There are unique potential risks associated with the specific asset classes that a Mutual Fund or ETF represents. You should carefully consider the risk, charges, and expenses of an ETF prior to investing. There can be no guarantee that the HCM-BuyLine® indicator will perform as anticipated. Stoploss protection will not necessarily limit your losses to the desired amounts due to the limitations of the HCM-BuyLine®, market conditions, and delays in executing orders. It is not an actual stoploss order that automatically sells securities in the portfolio at a certain price. There can be no guarantee that the HCM-BuyLine® indicator will perform as anticipated.
