SUMMARY
- Investment brokers are financial intermediaries facilitating the trade transaction between investors and exchanges.
- We compared the selected independent brokerage firms based on their platform attractiveness to customers, financial stability, financial performance and valuation metrics to determine the best brokerage stock.
- Our findings show that Interactive Brokers is the best brokerage stock due to its strong reputation as a low-cost trading provider, high security and wide market access.
- While Charles Schwab is the most stable brokerage firm and the listed emerging Chinese brokers have higher growth, Interactive Brokers has a stable track record with attractive valuation metrics.
