Fidelity now lets 13-to-17-year-olds open trading accounts

Steph flags a rule change: Fidelity launched trading accounts for teens aged 13 to 17 (opened with a parent), unlocking a new cohort of young investors who can deposit and buy ETFs — and the opening to build a financial-education game for them.

“So Fidelity recently launched trading accounts for 13 to 17-year-olds. So before. I'm not sure if they just didn't have them or if it was illegal. I'm not sure. You've talked about how rule changes are game changers and they unlock innovation. So, um, basically now teens can open accounts.”
