How to choose a stockbroker

  1. Confirm the stockbroker and the firm are registered: Investor.gov and FINRA BrokerCheck in the US, the CSA National Registration Search in Canada. Read any disclosure events.
  2. Ask whether they act as a fiduciary on your account at all times, and get the answer in writing.
  3. Ask how they are paid: a percentage of assets, flat or hourly fees, a retainer, commissions, or a mix. Each creates different conflicts of interest.
  4. Read the firm’s Form CRS and Form ADV Part 2A brochure (fees, services, conflicts, disciplinary history) before you sign.
  5. Check designations with the body that grants them, such as the CFP Board for CFP® professionals.
  6. Ask about account minimums and who holds your money: your assets should sit with an independent custodian in your name.
  7. Compare at least two or three firms, and be wary of anyone who promises returns or pushes you to decide quickly.

Questions to ask a stockbroker

  • Are you a fiduciary for all of the advice you give me, and will you put that in writing?
  • How are you paid, in total dollars per year for an account like mine? Do you earn commissions or other payments from product providers?
  • Which registrations and designations do you hold, and where can I verify them?
  • Who will hold my assets, and how will I see statements directly from that custodian?
  • What services are included in your fee, and what would cost extra with you as my stockbroker?
  • Do you have a minimum account size or minimum fee?
  • Have you or your firm had any complaints or disciplinary actions? Where would I see them?
  • How often will we meet, and who will I work with day to day?
  • What happens to my plan or accounts if you retire or leave the firm?

A firm registered with the SEC or a state securities regulator to give investment advice for pay. Most firms managing $100 million or more register with the SEC; smaller firms usually register with their state.
Investment adviser representative (IAR)
A person who gives advice on behalf of a registered investment adviser, usually registered with the states where they work.

A firm that buys and sells securities for customers. US broker-dealers are members of FINRA; their registered representatives typically earn commissions.

The SEC rule, in force since June 30, 2020, requiring broker-dealers to act in a retail customer’s best interest when recommending a security or account type.

An advisor paid only by clients, with no commissions or other payments from product providers.
Fee-based
An advisor who charges client fees and may also earn commissions on some products. It is not the same as fee-only.

Each stockbroker gets a 0–100 RFA Score from eight published factors, led by reputation (30%), specialty focus (15%), review volume (10%) and claimed profile (10%). A firm with no Google reviews scores zero on rating, review volume and recency; other factors we cannot measure are left out. Only firms with a confirmed specialty and 3 or more reviews, or a claimed profile, are ranked.

Do stockbrokers outside Vaughan count in this ranking?

Yes, if they are within 40 km of the Vaughan city centre, our service radius for stockbrokers. Each listing shows where the firm is based and how far away it is. Proximity is 5% of the RFA Score, so a nearby firm gets a small edge.

Can stockbrokers pay to rank higher on RankedFinancialAdvisors?

No. The RFA Score never reads payment status, and this ranking has 0 paid placements. Up to 3 Featured firms may appear above the list, labelled Sponsored and showing their honest rank.

What does a stockbroker do?

Stockbrokers buy and sell stocks, bonds, funds and other securities for clients and may recommend them. In the US they are registered representatives of a FINRA member broker-dealer; in Canada they work for a CIRO-regulated investment dealer.

How are stockbrokers in Vaughan ranked?

By RFA Score: public signals such as the Google rating and review count, how clearly the firm offers brokerage services and how close it is. Paid placements never change the order, and the score does not measure investment performance.

How do I check a stockbroker’s registration?

Search the person and the firm on the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Registration Search, and for investment and mutual fund dealer representatives on CIRO AdvisorReport.

Who regulates stockbrokers in Vaughan?

Advisors who sell or recommend securities register with the provincial securities regulator, and representatives of investment and mutual fund dealers are also overseen by CIRO. In Ontario, the titles “Financial Planner” and “Financial Advisor” are restricted to people holding a credential approved by FSRA.

How much do stockbrokers charge?

Fees depend on the firm and the service: a percentage of assets managed each year, a flat or hourly planning fee, a retainer, or commissions. Ask for the fee schedule in writing and read the firm’s Form ADV Part 2A brochure or, in Canada, its relationship disclosure.
