Fortunetrader is the online division of Corporate Investments
Group, Inc (CIG). We were established in 1995 in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
We are registered
with SEC, FINRA, SIPC, NFA and various state securities departments. We have been providing
exceptional investment and trading services to clients mainly in the Midwest Region. We
also cater to clients around the United States, Asia, and the Middle East.
Selecting the right investment firm is not easy.
Many offer "low" commissions with a lot of hidden fees and very little
help. Other giant financial
institutions require huge balances, charge very expensive fees and treat you like a paper folder, and change their names
every two years.
That's where we fit in. Our mission is to give all investors a fair
chance, good price and stability.
The FortuneTrader Advantages:
Good Service
We want to bring back what good service is all about. Whether you are a
new or an experienced investor, self-service or full-service customer, we
will listen to your concerns and offer help the way you want it. We
guarantee that you will not be pressured to buy anything as you may be
elsewhere. Please feel relaxed with us. In addition, your phone call
will usually be answered by a live broker during market hours. No more
being put on hold.
Quality Executions
We offer some of the most advanced and powerful trading and execution
systems to ensure that each of your orders receive the best possible
execution. Most stock market orders can be executed and confirmed in a
matter of seconds. For options orders, we utilize advanced smart routing
technology and get your order to the exchange that offers the best prices.
This routing can choose any major options exchange such as CBOE, ISE, PHLX,
BOX, PSE or others. Remember, a 10-cent improvement on an order of 5000
shares translates to $500.00 in actual cash saving. Don't underestimate the importance of
quality execution. For Pre and Post market orders, you can request your
order to be represented by several major ECNs like BATS or ARCA or other selected market makers for maximum price
transparency.
Low Overall Cost
Our high-speed on-line stock commission rate is only
$9.99 per trade. Among the lowest,
but surely one of the best. Broker-Assisted trades are $39.99. Again, you will
receive prompt assistance from your own personal broker, not from an answering system or an
outsourced trainee in a foreign country, as you might find in many other places.
Your registered broker, has
an average of over 8 years of mark experience
in the markets, and receives
on-going training in many aspects of investments and trading, such as Options Strategy,
Retirement Planning, Technical Analysis and other important topics.
Security and Privacy
As a registered enity f the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Securities Investors Protection Corp (SIPC) and many state
securities authorities, and having been helping clients since 1995, we
are in business for the long
run. Each equity investment account is insured for up to $25,000,000.00 by Penson Financial
