WHY USE E TRADE
BROKING SERVICES?
Grow your business. Transform your service.
E TRADE Broking Services allows you to strategically position your business so you can offer a superior
combination of investment choices, research and trading products.
We develop and share tools and services that would be costly for you to build and manage
independently, allowing you to devote your time and resources to servicing your clients.
SIGnIfICAnT CoST SAvInGS.
E TRADE Broking Services reduces the overall cost of doing business by removing high fixed overhead
costs. This allows you to move to a simpler variable cost structure, paying only for actual usage.
Outsourcing your back-office puts you in front.
In the USA, less than 10% of broking firms have their own back-office. The generally accepted model is to
outsource clearing functions to specialist providers who can obtain scale and efficiency benefits.
We’ve seen in the Australian market a similar trend emerging with specialist brokers, such as E TRADE
Broking Services, offering execution, clearing and settlement services for AFSL holders. By outsourcing
what are essentially administrative functions to E TRADE Broking Services, you can concentrate on your
value-added front-office functions – advice, wealth management and client servicing.
Leverage our technology.
E TRADE Broking Services gives you access to the latest technology and reporting packages.
E TRADE assumes responsibility and cost for upgrades, support and ongoing maintenance of the
technology platform.
Superior trading tools.
E TRADE Broking Services lets you place single or multiple orders for individuals or groups of clients,
and then release them to market with a single click. You can also vary the brokerage rates charged to
each client.

ASX capital adequacy solutions – free up your capital.
For ASX participants, E TRADE has a number of models which may enable you to free up capital
in relation to your ASX obligations. This may enable you to transfer your clearing obligations and
significantly reduce your ASX capital adequacy requirements. This allows you to direct resources and
capital back into your business and focus exclusively on revenue-generating activities.

TAILORED SOLUTIONS
THAT DEVELOP AND
PROTECT YOUR BRAND.
E TRADE delivers a range of our products and services using your company’s logo and details.
White label own branded service.
While E TRADE provides your back office support and online management tools, you can maintain the
client relationship. We can brand your Application Forms, Contract Notes, End of Year Statements and
Portfolio Reports.
Please note that as E TRADE provides these services, E TRADE must, by law, appear in the trading
terms and conditions and Financial Services Guide. This is a standard requirement and we provide the
necessary templates.
Client ownership.
The client remains the property of you and your advisers. This understanding is clearly set out in the
agreement which defines the relationship between E TRADE and its Broking Services customers.
Client records.
The E TRADE database has been designed to uniquely identify the records of its Broking Services
customers and their clients. E TRADE does not directly market to your clients; the only communications
sent are those required by law (which will include a brief notation of E TRADE’s role in providing the
services agreed with each user of its Broking Services.)
