Broker-dealer


Additional Services

 

Broker dealer typically is a securities trading firm which combines the functions of a stockbroker - acting as an agent for investors - with that of a dealer - acting as a principal for its own account.

This so-called dual capacity became a feature of the London stockmarket only after Big Bang in 1986.
