The Role Of A Broker

April 18th, 2009

To buy or sell shares on Bursa Malaysia, you need to use a registered broker who is a member of Bursa Malaysia. You cannot deal directly with Bursa Malaysia as only brokers have direct access to the market.
A broker acts as your agent – much like a real estate agent that sells your house.
He/she earns a commission on the value of shares you trade – just like a real estate agent earns commission on buying and selling houses for people.
A broker can also be involved in the listing of a new company by underwriting the float and marketing the float to their group of clients.

There are many brokers to choose from – click here for a list of all brokers.
