Stock Broker
A stock broker serves as a intermediary connecting investors to Stock Exchanges. They are registered members of Stock Exchanges through whom investors can execute their trades. Investors rely on brokers to buy or sell stocks, ETFs, futures, options, and other securities, as direct access to exchanges is restricted. By facilitating these transactions, brokers enable market participation, ensuring trades are placed efficiently and in compliance with regulations. Essentially, they bridge the gap between investors and the trading ecosystem, making investment possible for the public.
