Välitysliikkeitä

Välitysliikkeitä are financial intermediaries that facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers of financial instruments. They operate in various financial markets, including the stock market, bond market, and foreign exchange market. Their primary role is to provide a platform and services that enable investors to buy and sell securities efficiently and securely.

These firms typically earn revenue through commissions charged on each transaction, fees for account management, and sometimes through proprietary trading. Välitysliikkeitä can be broadly categorized into two types: full-service brokers, which offer a wide range of financial advisory services in addition to trade execution, and discount brokers, which primarily focus on executing trades at a lower cost.

Regulatory bodies oversee the activities of välitysliikkeitä to ensure fair market practices and protect investors. Compliance with regulations is crucial for their operation, and they are often required to maintain specific capital requirements and adhere to ethical conduct standards. The services provided by välitysliikkeitä are essential for the functioning of modern financial markets, connecting those with capital to invest with those seeking to raise it.
