- What are Stock Brokers?
Today's stockbrokers are able to cater for the needs of the millions of current and new shareholders. They use the latest computer technology to provide fast and efficient services. There are 103 members/brokers including 29 corporate members in ISE of which 45 are active members. You can choose any broker which can help attain your investment objectives.
After discussing your investment needs, you give your stockbroker the authority to buy and sell shares on your behalf within agreed guidelines. The broker manages your investments and reports to you regularly on their performance, as well as handling all dealings and administration for you. -

How do I invest in the stock market?

Access to the stock market is now easier than ever before. To buy and sell shares in a particular company, you would usually contact your stock broking firm. A broker buys and sells securities on your behalf charging a commission for the services provided. The stock broker's job is to assist the clients in meeting their investment objectives by handling orders for stocks, maintaining account records and providing information and consultancy. -

What are the mechanics of sharing dealing

?  Buying Directly
When you have decided to buy shares in a particular company, contact your stockbroker. You can ask to buy a fixed number of shares, or shares up to a certain value.

Selling Directly
Again, you contact a stockbroker. The stockbroker is obliged to sell at the best price he can get, but you can decide what is the minimum you are prepared to accept. If you have a share certificate, it must normally be with the stockbroker in good time for the deal to be completed. Dealing with Advice
The stockbroker assists you in buying & selling of shares but in no way he is under any obligation to supervise the investment or to advise or make any recommendation to the investor/client with respect to the sale/purchase of shares.
