An independent guide

This guide started because reaching an investment account online should be the calmest part of the day, and too often it is not. People kept asking the same plain questions — where do I begin, what does the screen want, and how do I know it is really the official site? So we wrote the steady guide we wished we had.

Everything here is written for someone who wants a straight, safe answer. We walk the firm, the accounts, and the client relationship in the order people meet them, and we say, every time, to start at the official site. This is an independent guide; we are not the firm, we give no investment advice, and we hold no real account.
