What Is An Execution Only Service In Stockbroking?

Execution only dealing is ideal if you’re looking to take advantage of the knowledge of markets and liquidity that our dealers have here at Hedley & Co, whilst being able to maintain full independence and responsibility for your trades.

Execution only dealing doesn’t require specific investment advice but it does require a high level of service from our team. And consistent communications with all our clients is something we pride ourselves on..

But before you agree to anything, you should go into it with full knowledge of the service. So, what is an execution only service in stockbroking?

What Is Execution-Only?

Sometimes also known as agency only, execution only services are mostly, predominantly, internet- or telephone- based. This trading service is restricted only to the execution of trades. No clients receive advice about trades – nor the merits or suitability or risks of investments.

This is why they are most suitable to experienced investors; those who are already aware of both the risk and reward of investments.

Understanding Execution-Only

The way that Hedley & Co’s execution-only service operates is through using nominee accounts. So the client’s investments will be registered in the name of our Custodian but the client remains the beneficial owner.

While the brokerage (via our Custodian) – that’s us – will handle all of the documentation regarding the buying and selling of securities, we also collect and deposit dividends into the client’s account. Any information that needs action taken by the shareholder directly will be sent straight to the client.

How Our Service Works

If you’re one of our Execution Only clients, you pay an annual nominee fee and commission for the trades executed. Our clients pay this commission rather than any management fee because you are in control of administering your own portfolio.

From us, Hedley & Co., you can always expect a broker on the other end of the line, working orders throughout the day. A broker who will have a thoughtful approach to dealing, who will take your trading objectives into account.
