What people ask us.
What is a managed account?
With managed account a professional manages your investments for you, including operating your account and making trades on your behalf. A managed account can be especially helpful if you don't have time to research and invest on your own, aren't confident in your financial knowledge, or simply don't want to do it yourself. At TIAA, managed accounts are part of our Wealth Management offering, which is independent from the services we offer in our retirement plans.
What is a managed brokerage account?
“Managed brokerage account” is another way of saying managed account.
Managed account versus brokerage account
In a managed account, a professional manages your investments for you, including operating your account and making trades on your behalf. A brokerage account is self-directed, meaning you don’t have expert help—instead you operate the account and invest on your own.
A managed account can be especially helpful if you don't have time to research and invest on your own, aren't confident in your financial knowledge or simply don't want to do it yourself.
A brokerage account could be for you if you want full control over your investments, are confident you have the necessary knowledge, and have the time to monitor and make changes at appropriate times.
