What to Expect from Killik & Co
Sometimes it's difficult for some clients to understand how they should be using a Full Service advisory broker like Killik & Co. They thought it would be helpful if they ran you through what your broker will do for you and how the basic processes of buying and selling stocks works.
step I - at Killik & Co they encourage all types of clients - from beginners to those who know the workings of the markets well. All clients are free to call their broker at any time and discuss investment ideas. Alternatively you may simply have a sum of money to invest and want to leave the investment side of things up to them. If you do not want the advice of the broker you can simply ask them to execute a trade. It is entirely up to you. Depending upon the type of service you elect to have, your broker will be more or less active in terms of running the account.
step II - your broker will make recommendations where relevant and you can agree or disagree as you see fit. They'll help you choose investments that suit your investment profile and financial goals.
step III - when you have decided upon the nature of the stocks you are going to buy or sell, your broker will transact the trade for you at the best price available at that time. Should you want, you can also set limits - i.e. buy or sell if a stock reaches a certain point. When the trade has been done your broker will send you a contract note confirming the details of the trade - this should reach you in a few days. They'll also send you a statement of account - it's up to you whether you receive this monthly or quarterly.
In addition to their usual services, they have developed Killik & Co Internet Services.
They have recently upgraded their online facility to allow clients access to their account online. The new facility will give you the opportunity to:
