CONVERSATION STARTERS: Ask your financial professional:

  • Given my financial situation, should I choose a brokerage service? Why or why not?
  • How will you choose investments to recommend to me?
  • What is your relevant experience, including your licenses, education, and other
    qualifications? What do these qualifications mean?

What fees will I pay?

Z-Squared Securities does not charge commission for executing self-directed equity, options, or crypto trades. You may pay certain administrative fees to offset fees charged to the firm by third parties.

We are compensated when you complete a transaction, we therefore have an incentive to encourage you to make larger investments and trade more frequently.

You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

For additional information about fees and costs, please refer to Z-Squared’s

Fee Schedule  on Zingeroo’s website. Fees may change without notice and any changes will be reflected in Z-Squared’s Fee Schedule.

CONVERSATION STARTERS: Ask your financial professional:

  • Help me understand how these fees and costs might affect my investments. If I give you
    $10,000 to invest, how much will go to fees and costs, and how much will be invested for me?

What are your legal obligations to me when providing recommendations? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have?

We do not provide recommendations. The way we make money may create some conflicts with your interests. You should understand and ask us about these conflicts because they can affect the services we provide you. Here are some examples to help you understand what this means:

  • We are paid when you complete a transaction, which means we have an incentive to encourage you to make larger investments and trade more frequently, as noted above.
  • We receive Payment For Order Flow (PFOF) when you buy or sell securities from part or all of your transactions.
  • We earn interest in resting assets of retail customers.
