Options
Certain requirements must be met in order to trade options. Options can be risky
and are not suitable for all investors. Options transactions are often complex,
and investors can rapidly lose the entire amount of their investment or more in
a short period of time. Investors should consider their investment objectives
and risks carefully before investing in options. Refer to the
Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before considering
any options transaction. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable,
will be furnished upon request. Tax considerations with options transactions are
unique and investors considering options should consult their tax advisor as to
how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy.
Options Order Flow Rebate.
If you are enrolled in our Options Order Flow Rebate Program ,
Public Investing will share 50% of our estimated order flow revenue for each
completed options trade as a rebate to help reduce your trading costs. The exact
rebate will depend on the specifics of each transaction and will be previewed
for you prior to submitting each trade. This rebate will be deducted from your
cost to place the trade and will be reflected on your trade confirmation. Order
flow rebates are not available for non-options transactions. To learn more, see
our Fee Schedule, Order
Flow Rebate FAQ, and Order Flow Rebate Program Terms & Conditions.
Bonds.
"Bonds" shall refer to corporate debt securities and U.S. government securities
offered on the Public platform through a self-directed brokerage account held at
Public Investing and custodied at Apex Clearing. For purposes of this section,
Bonds exclude treasury securities held in treasury accounts with Jiko
Securities, Inc. as explained under the “ Treasury Accounts” section.
Investments in Bonds are subject to various risks including risks related to
interest rates, credit quality, market valuations, liquidity, prepayments, early
redemption, corporate events, tax ramifications and other factors. The value of
Bonds fluctuate and any investments sold prior to maturity may result in gain or
loss of principal. In general, when interest rates go up, Bond prices typically
drop, and vice versa. Bonds with higher yields or offered by issuers with lower
credit ratings generally carry a higher degree of risk. All fixed income
securities are subject to price change and availability, and yield is subject to
change. Bond ratings, if provided, are third party opinions on the overall
bond's credit worthiness at the time the rating is assigned. Ratings are not
recommendations to purchase, hold, or sell securities, and they do not address
the market value of securities or their suitability for investment purposes.
High-Yield Cash Account.
A High-Yield Cash Account is a secondary brokerage account with Public Investing.
Funds in your High-Yield Cash Account are automatically deposited into partner
banks (“Partner Banks”), where that cash earns interest and is eligible for FDIC
insurance. See herefor a list of current Partner Banks. Your
Annual Percentage Yield is variable and may change at the discretion of the
Partner Banks or Public Investing. Apex Clearing and Public Investing receive
administrative fees for operating this program, which reduce the amount of
interest paid on swept cash. Neither Public Investing nor any of its affiliates
is a bank. Learn more.
Alternative Assets.
Brokerage services for alternative assets available on Public are offered by
Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”), member of FINRA & SIPC. “Alternative assets,” as
the term is used at Public, are equity securities that have been issued pursuant
to Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (“Regulation A”).
This content is not investment advice. These investments are speculative,
involve substantial risks (including illiquidity and loss of principal), and are
not FDIC or SIPC insured. Alternative Assets purchased on the Public platform
are not held in a Public Investing brokerage account and are self-custodied by
the purchaser. The issuers of these securities may be an affiliate of Public
Investing, and Public Investing (or an affiliate) may earn fees when you
purchase or sell Alternative Assets. For more information on risks and conflicts
of interest, see these disclosures.
An affiliate of Public may be “testing the waters” and considering making an
offering of securities under Tier 2 of Regulation A. No money or other
consideration is being solicited and, if sent in response, will not be accepted.
No offer to buy securities can be accepted, and no part of the purchase price
can be received, until an offering statement filed with the SEC has been
qualified by the SEC. Any such offer may be withdrawn or revoked, without
obligation or commitment of any kind, at any time before notice of acceptance
given after the date of qualification by the SEC or as stated in the offering
materials relating to an investment opportunity, as applicable. An indication of
interest to purchase securities involves no obligation or commitment of any
kind.
Cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrency trading, execution, and custody services are provided by Bakkt
Crypto Solutions, LLC (NMLS ID 1828849) (“Bakkt”). Cryptocurrency is highly
speculative, involves a high degree of risk, and has the potential for loss of
the entire amount of an investment. Cryptocurrencies offered by Bakkt are not
securities and are not FDIC insured or protected by SIPC. Your cryptocurrency
assets are held in your Bakkt account. Bakkt is a licensed virtual currency
business by the New York State Department of Financial Services and a licensed
money transmitter, but is not a registered broker-dealer or a FINRA member. Your
Bakkt Crypto account is separate from your brokerage account with Public
Investing, which holds US-listed stocks and ETFs. Please review the Risk Disclosures before trading.
Treasury Accounts.
Investing services in treasury accounts offering 6 month US Treasury Bills on the
Public platform are through Jiko Securities, Inc. (“JSI”), a registered
broker-dealer and member of FINRA & SIPC. See JSI’s FINRA
BrokerCheckand Form CRS for further information. JSI
uses funds from your Treasury Account to purchase T-bills in increments of $100
“par value” (the T-bill’s value at maturity). T-bills are purchased at a
discount to the par value and the T-bill’s yield represents the difference in
price between the “par value” and the “discount price.” Aggregate funds in your
Treasury Account in excess of the T-bill purchases will remain in your Treasury
Account as cash. The value of T-bills fluctuate and investors may receive more
or less than their original investments if sold prior to maturity. T-bills are
subject to price change and availability - yield is subject to change. Past
performance is not indicative of future performance. Investments in T-bills
involve a variety of risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, and
liquidity risk. As a general rule, the price of a T-bills moves inversely to
changes in interest rates. Although T-bills are considered safer than many other
financial instruments, you could lose all or a part of your investment. See Jiko U.S. Treasuries Risk Disclosuresfor further details.
Investments in T-bills: Not FDIC Insured; No Bank Guarantee; May Lose Value.
Banking services and bank accounts are offered by Jiko Bank, a division of
