Brokerage in SL is fixed, hence there is no competition among brokers. In other countries brokerage is negotiable, hence brokers have to offer value added services to compete for their servival. This competitive environment gives better options for investors. This is lacking in SL. This is one important aspect the SEC has to consider.

I said we have STONE AGE BROKERS because when the whole world is embracing the latest technology, our guys are not bothered & venarate age-old systems. They keep-on with AGE OLD systems at the cost of investors. Few investors complain.

I noticed that, my cheques are delayed & spoke to the authorities on this. The explanation was that they have to follow the procedures up to the writing of the cheque. Then, I inquired why they cant shift to on-line banking where SLIP TRANSFER is faster. SEC rules also permits this method but not mandatory. The reply was that they have to take up the matter in their association six months ago. Still they have not done any thing. I think we too need to take-up his matter collectively.

Recent messup with online trading is also a result of their STONE AGE mentality and lethargy. They were resisting the new system untill last day and never bothered to upgrade their software. Up-graded software too are not working due to incompatibility because either their litercy in technology is nill or else not bothered to employ qualified people to do so. What is the action the SEC is going to take against these brokers?

How many brokers have reliable research reports for their clients. I havent heard of any though they boast of having research sections. All what they have is out-dated ones. No forward looking research reports. I can fatham the gravity of the issue from the questions posed by novices in our forum. I think the current market slowdown is partly attributable to these STONE AGE brokers.

What should we do to improve this friends. Your valuable views are welcome.

What your are telling is true.

What ever positive actions taken by regulators to improve the quality of the CSE some stakeholders does not like it. SEC have to take extra precautions when dealing with these people because most of brokers are linked with HNWIs and our market is very small. So they can take the market in any direction.

Most of Sri Lankan Departments loves the stone age methods as well as the systems to exist.. they dont want to change .... Need good change management programs

well said pal. They are one major factor why this market is so irritating. One major party who can be named as Crooks.
They have people called "Investment Advisers", Some are just school leavers. We can give them better investment advices. When ever they tell us some thing, the opposite happens.

So why cant we trade directly , without this useless broker fellows. We can pay additional to the CSE if they provide direct trading facility. No broker charges.

I have been emphasizing these so called "Investment advisers" in few of my previous post. I have also been telling that these guys are mere school leavers and become overnight "investment advisers" and handle clients.

They do not know when to enter and exit the market. One of the leading brokerage firms did not have a technical analyst until recently. Some don't even send analysis reports. I like to see brokerage commission reduced further depending on the service that they provide.

1. Advice + analysis reports etc.....one block of commission
2. Just brokerage.....one block of commission

I, for once will choose option no 2.

Agree with all of you. Sri Lankan brokers ah Mad
99% are just useless so called advisors. I'm just counting days to hear that at least few of these broker huts will declare bankruptcy.
CSE does not need this many huts. Its far too many when compare the size of CSE.

(same as too many financial institutes in Sri Lanka we have far too many broker huts in Sri Lanka)

Guys,

Don't mix brokers with advisers.

Adviser is the person who helps you to do investments.(even it doesn't happen)
Broker is the institution where the all advisers work.

A layman can't distinguish the advisor from the institution they work. ?After all, arn't they paid employers/agents of the brokering institution. I think this is not a lame excuse to save the brokers from criticism. My intention of posting this was to gather support for improvements of the brokering community friend.
