An investment account is also known as a brokerage account.
you deposit money into the account the same way you would a bank account but then, once the $ is in the account you can instruct the broker to buy stocks and or bonds or mutual funds.
All investments account have a "money market account" inside them, the money market account is where the money goes when you deposit it and where the money comes from when stocks are purchased.
10% of 400 is only $40, you will need to accumulate a much larger amount than that in order to get any benefit from investments in the stock market.
So after you open the account you will just be depositing cash into your money market account until you have, say $1,000 at that point you can instruct your broker to buy stocks or bond with the money.
