Securities Brokering in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Securities Brokering in the US

The Securities Brokering industry primarily serves as an intermediary between investors and investment securities such as stocks, bonds and derivatives. With the rise of electronic trading and discount brokering, many industry operators have started to offer more value-added services such as investment advice for clients. As a result, the industry has become increasingly indistinguishable from the Financial Planning and Advice industry (IBISWorld report 52393). Over the five years to 2019, slow economic and financial market recovery, coupled with contracting securities trading volumes, caused revenue to drop in 2015 before slowly starting to improve. Moreover, the average industry profit margin has also been constrained due to intense competition from online trading platforms that eliminate the need for financial intermediaries. Operators have responded to this trend by increasing their financial services offerings and transitioning to an asset-based fee structure characteristic of the Financial Planning and Advice industry. Over the five years to 2024, continued merger and acquisition (M&A) activity will enable financial firms to capitalize on operational synergies, larger client bases and new financial advisory business segments.

Companies in this industry act as agents that arrange transactions between securities buyers and sellers on a commission or transaction-fee basis. The Securities Brokering industry continues to converge with various other securities and banking industries due to regulatory, technological and market trends.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
