Article Abstract:
The internet is often portrayed as offering opportunities for thieves, but this is gradually coming to be seen as less of a problem. The Securities and Futures Authority regulates reputable on-line brokers. Personal security is important, and users should not allow others to use their passwords. Investors should also have protection provided by brokers, such as password security. Defenses against hackers include firewall software. Automation of trades also provides greater security.

Article Abstract:
Investors in British individual savings accounts (Isas) tend not to seek professional advice, and usage of execution-only brokers has become more common, especially with the development on online broking.

Investors should look for interaction, information and rapid access when they use an online broker.
