A mutual fund is an investment vehicle funded by many investors for the purpose of diversification by investing in a variety of securities such as stocks, bonds and other similar securities. Mutual funds provide many benefits including: professional management, portfolio diversification, reduced transaction costs, and liquidity. Huntleigh Securities Corporation has access to an expansive selection of mutual funds to allow our clients the flexibility to choose the most suitable option based on their personal financial goals.

An ETF is a portfolio of securities assembled by an investment company. ETFs can be traded throughout the day on stock exchanges, like individual stocks, and trading flexibility is part of their appeal. Because ETFs are available across a broad range of indexes, they can help provide cost-efficient diversification. As with any investment, consider the potential risks before making a decision to include ETFs in your portfolio.

Insurance protection is a crucial component of a comprehensive, long-term financial plan. Huntleigh Securities Corporation’s licensed insurance professionals write policies for fixed and fixed-indexed annuities, and universal, whole and term life insurance. We also offer variable life insurance policies that provide opportunities for the cash value portion of the policy to be directed into a wide array of subaccounts with access to various fixed, equity and bond market sectors. Based on investment performance, the policies allow you to control how much you pay in premiums, within designated limits. Variable insurance policies are often recommended in a rising stock market environment; however, special care must be taken to ensure policies are properly funded to provide coverage for life.

Annuities are designed to offer a practical way to protect a portion of your retirement income. An annuity is an investment with an insurance component that you pay into either all at once or in installments. In many cases, the insurance portion of an annuity may be utilized to provide an income stream for retirement or principal guarantees upon death.

Income and growth from the investments in an annuity are tax-deferred until the funds are withdrawn. In addition, many annuities offer access to several fund families and diverse market sectors all under one umbrella.

Huntleigh Securities Corporation offers a full range of products for retirement planning, including Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Corporate Retirement Plans. We also offer administrative services for 401(k)s, Defined Benefit Plans and Profit Sharing Plans.

We also have the capability and expertise to provide analysis on College Savings options to enable you to determine approximate costs, as well as develop appropriate funding strategies. Education IRAs, 529 Plans, and Custodial accounts are available.
