About us
488trade.com is the online division of Corporate Investments Group, Inc (CIG). We are a full service broker dealer and were established in 1995 in Chicago, USA. We are member of FINRA, SIPC. We have been providing exceptional investment and trading services to clients in the Midwest Region.
Selecting the right investment firm is not easy. Many offer "low" commission with a lot of hidden fees and limited support. Other giant financial institutions require huge account balances, charge expensive fees and treat you like a file folder, and change their names every few years. That's where we fit in. Our mission is to give all investors a fair chance, good price and stability.
We value honesty and fairness, and are highly knowledgeable about almost all securities. We assure that your every phone call will always be answered by live broker during market hours. We treat every account holder with superior courtesy no matter what your account size is.
