Tips for Choosing the Best Securities Company


Choosing a good securities company is not easy. If you want to open an account at a stock securities office, you have to choose one of the hundreds of securities companies in Indonesia. For those of you who want to open a securities account. So that you can choose which securities office is good, pay attention to the tips below.


1. Track Record


You should consider the track record of the securities company. The track record in this case is freedom from sanctions and honesty in managing customers. This is important, if a securities company has many sanctions, it can be said that the company cannot manage its business and even its customers.


2. Initial Deposit


For those of you who feel that you have limited funds but want to dive into the world of the capital market, you should ask how much is the initial deposit to open a securities account. In 2015, the Indonesia Stock Exchange eased the initial deposit requirements for customers with a minimum initial deposit of only IDR 100,000, but not all securities offices. You have to cross-check.


3. Transaction Fee


Consider transaction fees. Transaction fees should not be too large because large transaction fees can affect the number of your purchase and sale transactions.


4. Software Facilities


Software facilities would have to meet the needs of customers. Graph data in real time, online brokerage access via software, menus to view the movement of each company sector, financial statement information, company location information. Do not let you get software facilities with data that is not real time at all times, thus misleading your technical analysis. 


5. Online Trading Facility


Consider a securities office that has online trading facilities. This is very useful for those of you who want to trade your own money.


6. Availability of Daily Stock Recommendations


Especially for those of you who still can't analyze yourself, if you need a recommendation from a broker, then consider a securities office that provides such recommendations.


7. Number of Investors (customers)


It should be noted how many customers the securities office has. Too many customers also show ineffectiveness. Managing too many customers can waste too much time and reduce service quality. In the end, it affects professionalism. On the other hand, too few customers also indicate that the securities office is not profitable. You can compare 2 or more securities offices to find out.


8. Company Capital


The greater the capital, the company shows that the more shares buying and selling transactions occur. This also shows that the securities company is indeed trusted by customers.


9. "Has a Name"


"Has a name" means: the securities office is often trusted as an underwriter, or the securities office is often used as a reference for analysis in online economic mass media, such as Kontan, Bisnis Indonesia.


10. Additional Considerations: Have Achievements


You can consider companies that have achievements, such as the best ranking securities offices that are able to convey the timeliness of financial statements, accuracy of disclosure, companies that have the most profits, capital, assets. The performance of the securities office also shows that the company is indeed profitable, so it is professional in running its business. You can search for rankings for the best companies in Investor Magazine, or investar.idx.co.id or you can google it by typing certain keywords.


Every securities office must open branches in various cities. If you want to know the address of the securities office you want to be domiciled in, don't ask me, because I'm not an address search engine. Please google it, you will find it. Each securities office also has an official website, where on the website they will definitely write down the address of the branch and head office of their securities office.
