The Role Of
A Broker
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 –
