Why use a broker?
To execute your trades. Keep in mind that not all brokers cater for smaller or retail clients. Some have strict minimums, where you have to invest upwards of R1 million in order to become one of their clients. We cater for larger and smaller clients alike. You can invest a minimum of R250,000 in a managed account, or start with a non-discretionary account with no minimum value. Your assigned broker is also someone to bounce your ideas off, someone who speaks the same language.
