— to slash commission fees in recent years in the hopes of capturing a greater market share of self-directed investors.Keep in mind that just because you can manage your own portfolio, doesn't necessarily mean you should. There remain instances in which an investor, specifically a high-net worth individual or one with advanced financial needs , may still wish to work directly with a full-service broker.

Though the lower cost is the major lure to working with a discount broker, it should be noted that they don't offer investment advice, tax planning, or personal consultations on their clients' behalf.
