Clients and their brokers need to take a different approach to the Small Cap Market and instead of trying to gain amazing returns with an equally amazing failure rate, look to something that has a high ratio of acceptance that will also provide the client with inflation-beating growth. In-situ Small Cap Programs don’t work.
That’s why we’ve introduced our File Placement Service which will match files to the right home, and we have attractive options for sub 10M files too. These alternatives are much more viable than “chasing the dream” for clients hoping to get their Small Caps into a PPP Program without sending the funds anywhere other than their own bank account.
What is your ‘File Placement Service’?
This is where the intake officer conducts their compliance checks and will forward the acceptable file to the trader to select the best program available at the time for the trader and client. It’s the point at which the client will then be told the specifics of what is available to them and the finalise their contract with the trader. A lot of files have failed at this point, mainly due to the fact that the broker and/or client has fixated their mind on a particular program that isn’t available or isn’t the best option at the time. The client then walks away from the deal feeling like they’ve lost out, when they should in fact be celebrating by having the trader offer them a trade program.
Clients should be sold the idea of entering a Trade Program, not a specific Trade Program!
We are constantly refining our product range and as we add new Trade Program opportunities, and others close, we offer a Placement Service to your clients. We’ll review the clients’ circumstances and from the 20 desks and all the main platforms, suggest the best program to suit the clients’ needs.
Key USP’s
- For clients with 1m+ looking to trade, we review the clients’ circumstances and find a tailored trade program solution for the client.
- Our panel of trade programs change constantly and we can suggest the program that best suits the client.
- The Placement Service ensures that the client is sold the service rather than the program, keeping the client at the heart of the process.
- After submission the Intake Officer will call the client & offer a number of solutions & deal directly with the client. It is their job to find a solution.
- The aim is to get the client into trade with a long-term agreement that benefits everyone.
I’ve seen so many programs being touted, which ones have actually proved successful?
We’ll keep mentioning it and apologies if we sound like a broken record, but clients should not be aware of a particular program, neither should brokers. Brokers and their clients need to concentrate on SUCCESS in getting into trade, rather than the returns or dynamics of a particular program. All clients who have been successful in getting into trade are not unhappy with the returns they receive, regardless of the program they have gone into or knew about beforehand. Clients will be making a lot of money. Programs are particularly transient and can come and go in the blink of an eye. Once a file is in front of a trader, they will offer the client the program that they have available at that particular point in time, and that makes money! Even if a particular program was still available at the time, it may not be the one offered for a multitude of reasons.
The five programs outlined below have been successful for clients during the last 12 months and give a flavour of the types of programs that may be available at the point at which the trader moves forward with a clients file:
