Fidelity Investments is giving teenagers access to financial markets with a new type of brokerage account.
The fund manager will provide investing and savings accounts and debit cards to 13- to 17-year-olds whose parents are clients, Boston-based Fidelity said Tuesday in an emailed statement. They will be able to trade U.S.-listed stocks, Fidelity mutual funds and most exchange-traded funds, with no account fees or commissions.
