Anyone 18 or older who is a U.S. resident can open a taxable brokerage account with Carry—no income requirements or contribution limits. Unlike retirement accounts, there are no restrictions on when you can access your funds or how much you can invest.

Investment advisory services are offered by Carry Advisors, an SEC registered investment advisor.

How does Carry handle my investments and trades?
While you make all investment decisions in your self-directed account, Carry provides the infrastructure to execute your trades efficiently. Your account is established with Carry Advisors LLC (our SEC-registered investment adviser), and when you place trades through our platform, they’re routed through Global Carry LLC (our broker-dealer, member FINRA/SIPC) to DriveWealth LLC for execution and custody. This structure allows us to offer commission-free trading as part of your advisory account while ensuring your assets are protected by SIPC at DriveWealth. All investment advice or portfolio strategies are exclusively provided by Carry Advisors LLC.
