A spirited bunch
Article Abstract:
There are around 20 stockbrokers operating in Greater Manchester, England, excluding the main clearing banks which are also involved in broking. Smaller brokers have seen technology and other costs rise. Independent brokers in the city include Pilling and Co and Gall and Eke, which is seeking additional space. United Kingdom stockbrokers have become polarised between investment management and execution-only deals, and investment management is one way to curb earnings volatility, according to Capel-Cure Myers Capital Management.

Man goes for global broking
Article Abstract:
Isle of Man stockbrokers are regulated by the Financial Supervision Commission (FSC) which is also involved in other areas such as banking supervision. Manx brokers may also be regulated by the Securities and Futures Authority of the United Kingdom, as is the case with Hargreave (Marsden W) Hale and Co. Collins Stewart is another Manx broker and is geared to companies, trusts and private clients. Ramsey Crookall is an independent broker dealing with private clients and some institutional clients.

All abraad the hi-tech express
Article Abstract:
Stockbrokers in north west England are investing in new technology which has intensified the pace of work and speeded up information flows. Companies have to upgrade continually in order not to be left behind. Brokers are developing web sites though they are divided in terms of how much they use the internet, and the extent to which United Kingdom investors are ready for online dealing. There can also be problems from too much information, rather than information that can be acted on.
