Sub brokers franchises have a set of responsibilities that they perform and here is a list of those responsibilities.
1. Client Acquisition and Onboarding
Sub brokers have to engage in marketing activities and invest in business development to attract clients. The brokerage firm does assist in many cases by offering marketing material and other resources.
Once a client is on board, the sub broker has to help the client set up an online trading account and open a demat account. This involves assisting them with adding their KYC (know your customer) details, filling up documentation, and making sure regulations are followed.
Then the sub broker will help the client with an initial training process where the client is taught how to use the trading platform, if needed. In addition, the basic principles and concepts related to investing in the market and some trading strategies are also shared with the clients at this stage.
2. Trading Facilitation
Sub brokers execute trading orders for the clients on the exchange, through the broker’s platform. This would also include offering advice regarding trading decisions, and tips to help them make better decisions. The brokerage firms often have advanced trading platforms that come with nuanced tools for research and analysis. The sub brokers bring their clients access to these tools through the brokerage firm.
3. Customer Support and Service
Managing the client’s trading accounts and tracking their portfolio for monitoring performance are part of the sub broker’s role. Helping clients to handle technical difficulties and any unforeseen glitches will also be done by the franchise. Besides this the sub broker also offers regular and precise updates on how the market is performing and about opportunities to invest, through various forms of communication.
4. Compliance and Regulatory Adherence
The sub broker has to make sure that the compliance requirements are met on behalf of the clients. This includes the submission of KYC documents and the compliance of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. The sub broker also has to report all of the client's transactions to the broker and regulatory authorities. The records are to be maintained and submitted with utmost accuracy. In addition, the franchise also has to assist in regular audits that are organized by regulatory bodies.
5. Additional Services
Besides the responsibilities that already exist, some sub brokers take up additional responsibilities to increase their revenue. These services might include portfolio management, financial planning, among other similar services. These services will be charged to clients separately by the sub broker.
6. Networking and Business Development
Handling client relationship management is a key part in the sub broker’s responsibilities. This is coupled with attempts to bring referrals from the existing clients to expand the clientele. Besides these tasks, the sub broker also has to invest in business development activities to handle communication and bring in more clients.
The sub broker franchises do have many responsibilities to handle, but they are not alone in these endeavors. The brokerage firms offer quite a bit of support for them to handle these requirements. The brokers offer training programs to educate the sub brokers, marketing material and resources to help with promotional campaigns, and access to a large network, technical support, and their reputation and brand value as well.
Even with compliance requirements, which can prove to be a huge administrative burden, brokerage firms offer a lot of support to get them done. The sub brokers usually have a fair amount of assistance from the broker. When a sub broker blends all the support with their efforts, their responsibilities can be efficiently met with ease.
In summary, authorised persons play a pivotal role in linking clients and brokers by offering personalized trading services. Their role is to leverage the resources of an established brokerage firm with reputation and brand value, and offer work closely with clients assisting them with their trading needs. This model works because of the complimentary responsibilities of the brokers and sub brokers in giving their clients what they want.
