Great Nation Advantages

Our goal is to serve investors with the best services and benefits possible. In order to provide what we believe is the best platform for doing so, we are required to maintain higher cash reserves than if we only offered the minimum.

Self-Clearing

Great Nation is a “self-clearing” firm which virtually eliminates the need for you to make checks payable to a third-party escrow agent.  We believe this simplifies doing business with us.  In order to operate in this manner, we are required to maintain higher cash reserves than a non-clearing firm.

Exchange Traded Stocks, Bonds & ETFs

Offering access to the various stock exchanges does not require us to maintain higher net capital reserves, but we are required to maintain a clearing deposit of not less than $25,000.

Church Bond Liquidity

To purchase Church Bonds from clients prior to maturity into our inventory, we are required to maintain higher cash reserves than firms who cannot offer this service.  Although we have provided this service to clients for years and intend to continue, we are not market-makers and may discontinue this service at anytime without notice.  We always advise our clients to purchase Church Bonds with the intent of holding them until maturity.  However, many times unforeseen events occur in our lives forcing us to sell some investments to raise cash.*  At Great Nation, we understand.

*For more information about the considerations and risks involved with selling Church Bonds in this manner, please refer to "FAQS" on this website.
