Hand Benefits & Trust founded its broker/dealer subsidiary, Hand Securities, Inc., in 1998 to facilitate the daily trading of equities, mutual funds, and bonds for our client's employer sponsored retirement plans. By establishing Hand Securities, HB&T gained direct access to investments on all of the markets as well as to more than 3,500 mutual fund choices. As an independent third party administrator, trustee and investment manager, HB&T will use these strategic advantages to provide clients with balanced, unbiased and cost-effective investment solutions.Now, Hand Securities has taken the next step to assist our clients with their retirement needs by offering Rollover Individual Retirement Accounts as well as self-directed retirement accounts under an employer's qualified retirement plan. If you or any of your participants expect to receive a retirement or termination payout from your employee sponsored retirement plan, you can continue to benefit from the tax-deferred status of your funds through a Rollover IRA at Hand Securities.

With Hand Securities you have the choice of placing orders for stocks and mutual funds through online trading, or by contacting our broker services desk. Online transaction orders are accepted for almost any domestic security traded on a major exchange, including listed equities, OTC stocks, and preferred stocks. You can choose no-load or no transaction fee (NTF) mutual funds as well. We also offer a wide variety of competitively priced corporate bonds, U.S. Treasuries, tax-free municipals and zero-coupon bonds, all available through our broker services desk.

Individual investors may prefer opening a personal brokerage account as well as other retirement, custodial and educational accounts including the increasingly popular 529 College Savings Plan.
