An exchange allows investors to execute trades through a broker or dealer other than their usual one, settling the transaction with their current financial custodian. This approach can offer convenience, faster execution, and access to international insights, potentially increasing returns and saving money.
An exchange is a strategy that makes it possible to execute a trade through a broker or dealer other than the broker that is normally used to manage trade executions. While a different party executes the trade, the transaction is settled with the investor’s current financial custodian. The ability to make use of the exchange model has become increasingly common in many countries, and goes a long way towards ensuring that the investor can receive the most efficient service from investing professionals. At the same time, the investor can maintain only one master account for his investment activity.
The basic process for creating an exchange situation involves identifying the broker or dealer the investor wishes to work with, based on the type of security involved in the transaction. Once such a broker is identified, the investor makes arrangements to move or trade in an individual account that is relevant to the security involved. That broker or dealer handles all the details of the transaction, reports the entire activity to the investor, and then forwards the order settlement to the custodian used by the investor. Fees due are settled in the investor’s account, thereby compensating all parties for their part in the successful completion of the transaction.
There are several reasons why an exchange may be a smart approach. One may have to do with the convenience of executing a trade order. The selected broker or licensee may be able to handle this process more quickly than the custodian could handle using their usual procedures. Assuming that the transaction has the potential to earn a high rate of return, going with the fastest solution increases the chances of that higher return.
Some investors will use an exchange approach as a means of working with brokers and dealers based in specific international locations. This can sometimes provide the investor with the opportunity to benefit from insights into the potential of a given investment that would otherwise be difficult to manage. By adding a local contact to the investment strategy, the client can make a more informed decision and therefore increase the chances of making sound trading decisions. Over time, using this model can save a great deal of money in terms of limiting losses, while also allowing you to discover and invest in securities that might otherwise have been overlooked.
