One always invests something with a point of view to have good returns in future. In the earlier times people used to invest only in property. People considered buying plots as the things of investment in the earlier times. But side by side people have started realizing that there is a need of new options for investments. As the types of investment increased the number of investors from past decade has also increased. It can only be done in case on has some amounts with him or her as savings. Without saving no investment can be made. A person who earns cannot spend all the amounts on the investment. Obviously he will start saving a portion of that earning time by time and when the savings can fund his/ her investment budget, they will make the investment.
There are some other people who place trade on the behalf of the users. Not the investors. Investor role is to tell those people on how to place the trade and when to place the trade. The trades are placed by discount brokers.
Traditionally discount brokers used to be a person who places the trade on behalf of the investor in return for a commission. This commission is known as brokerage. But nowadays there are corporations that have come up in to the picture instead of the individuals. They make use of trading platform software to achieve the best price and high quality information. The answer to all the questions which the people have in their mind related to this concept is it depends on various factors:
- How good the interface is
- The brokerage broker is charging
- Other charges taken or charged
- The time taken by trade to get placed.
- What are the other features provided by the interface of the company?
It is very difficult to rank the brokers as all of them have similar features and each one of them has different merits and demerits. It also depends on how people rate their services. If he or she performs well then he or she will obviously be good in that particular area. Customer satisfaction is the key to be the best, once the public is unsatisfied with the services that the broker will not remain in the picture. For this constant evaluation is required.
In previous times, they only used to place the trades. They didn’t analyze the performance neither gave any investment recommendation. But with the advent of time and increasing competition, the discount brokers started managing the investment account of the investor. They not only give a recommendation but also tell the overall value of the portfolio and the daily gain/ loss. An investor can analyze particular security by the use of the broker software. Each and every detail related to the price and quantity is mentioned in this now. It is basically a step to get all the procedures of investing done under one roof. This has helped increase the customer base and a great investing experience.
