What do stock broking companies do?
Stock broking companies place orders on stock exchanges for shares, bonds, funds and derivatives, and many give investment advice, manage portfolios and hold securities in custody. Their customers are private investors, funds, pension schemes and companies raising capital, and online brokers now compete with traditional brokerages under the rules of each country's securities regulator.
Our data comes from the business registers of 41 countries. SIC has no code of its own for stock broking companies: they sit in SIC codes 6211 (security brokers, dealers, and flotation companies) and 6221 (commodity contracts brokers and dealers), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for stock and financial brokers. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 14,995 of them (100%) sit in class 66.12 (security and commodity contracts brokerage), part of division 66 (activities auxiliary to financial services and insurance activities).
