WHAT INVESTMENT SERVICES AND ADVICE CAN YOU PROVIDE ME?
Our goal is to provide the financial solutions that enable you to achieve your personal financial goals. Our Brokerage service offers retail clients a self-directed alternative to buy and sell equity securities and options. We do employ financial professionals, however, they do not provide investment advice, make recommendations or solicit the opening of any accounts. We do not monitor the holdings in your brokerage account as part of our brokerage services and there are no minimum account size requirements to open an account. See Reg BI.
Our firm is an introducing firm and it does not perform any type of clearing function for itself or others. Furthermore, we do not hold customer funds or securities. We accept and enter orders on behalf of our clients. Freedom Investments sends equity orders to Oppenheimer & Co., Inc. (“OPCO”), which executes the orders, compares them, allocates them, clears and settles them. (“OPCO”), our clearing firm also maintains our customers’ accounts, can grant customers access to them, and delivers funds and securities. Our firm services only retail customers and we do not engage in any private placements.

WHAT FEES WILL I PAY?
If you open a brokerage account, you will pay a transaction based fee, generally called a commission, every time you buy or sell an investment the fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investment over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying. These transaction fees are paid whether you make or lose money on your investment. You will also pay fees for custodial, administrative, and other available services when and if applicable. Please click here for our fee schedule.
Ask your financial professional:
- Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investment. If I give you $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?
The amount of your investment will be reduced by the flat commission amount charged, which will reduce the amount of money you make over time. Please make sure you understand the fees and costs you are paying. Please click here for our fee schedule.
How do your financial professionals make money?
We do not employ financial professionals. We have two order takers that are salaried employees and they do not share any part of the commissions charged for your investment transactions.
What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?
We do not provide investment advice, make recommendations or solicit the opening of any accounts. We only make money from the flat commissions and other available services when applicable. Please click here for our fee schedule. A general conflict that exists is related to fees and service costs.
How might your conflicts affect me, and how will you address them?
A general conflict that exists is related to fees and service costs. They affect you by reducing the amount of money you make you over time. We offer a flat commission charge and limit our fees and costs as much as possible to limit their impact to you.
