A stockbroker\u2019s commission is usually based on the services they are rendering and their commission agreement terms with their clients. This implies that if a transaction has a good return on investment, a stockbroker will likely earn a higher percentage of income and vice versa.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1677773978005\"><h2 class=\"schema-faq-question\">Who regulates the stockbrokers?<\/h2> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In Nigeria, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sec.gov.ng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a> is responsible for regulating stockbrokers. The Nigerian Exchange Group (NXG) and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are also agencies that can regulate stockbrokers.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stockbrokers play an important role in the stock exchange market. They offer their services to investors and help maintain a balanced relationship between investors and the market. When looking to hire a stockbroker, it is important to know the kind of services you are looking for and how a stockbroker can help you achieve your goals. Always ensure that you seek professional advice to avoid issues.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to invest in stocks on Cowrywise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can purchase either moderate or aggressive funds on&nbsp;Cowrywise&nbsp;and you will automatically access a pool of different stocks from each fund you invest in.
