The top stockbroker of the year
Which stockbrokers went the extra mile for clients?
Innovative ideas are being found to make life simpler, quicker and safer for investors — and inquiries about offshore opportunities persist, writes Colin Anthony. Retail investors are being driven offshore by SA’s hostile political environment, coupled with flat markets, in search of lower risk and better returns. Stockbrokers are adapting accordingly — beefing up their offshore capabilities and fine-tuning other areas to meet clients’ evolving demands.
