1. ETC Brokerage offers stock, bond, mutual fund & option trading to existing Equity Trust Company clients through an ETC Brokerage account. The process to get started is simple. Once you have opened an Equity Trust Company account you can also establish an ETC Brokerage account. Begin trading with the available cash balance in your Equity Trust Company account or quickly fund your account by requesting an “in-kind” transfer of eligible publicly traded securities.

2. When funds are available within your Equity Trust Company account you can then place trades (either online or by contacting an ETC Brokerage representative). The movement of funds from your Equity Trust Company account to your ETC Brokerage account to place trades is seamless and does not require advanced notice prior to placing the trades. 
3. The total value of your brokerage account assets will be reflected within your Equity Trust Company account holdings in quarterly statements and online through myEQUITY.com. Detailed brokerage account information is available through ETC Brokerage online, and in brokerage account statements.
