In addition to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, trading accounts can also be used to invest in foreign currency exchange (forex or FX) and commodities futures trading. You can opt for a trading account that you manage, or one that is mainly managed by a financial professional. Either option can be included within an Equity Trust retirement account.
Possibilities for trading accounts include:
Forex, commodities, and futures can be attractive because of the ease of money movement and market availability. Plus, when traded in a retirement account, you can reduce or eliminate taxes on profits.
In the case of forex, the asset can be quickly converted to cash
Hedge against stock performance with an asset not tied to the market
Forex markets are open 24 hours a day, five days a week
