A securities company shall establish and improve its internal control system and take effective isolation measures to prevent conflicts of interest between the company and its customers. Securities companies must engage in securities brokerage business, securities underwriting business, securities proprietary business and securities assets business respectively, and may not operate in a mixed way.

Securities companies accept clients' entrustment to buy and sell securities as agents, and the source of business income is to charge them a certain percentage of commission. This kind of agent can be bought and sold through the counter or through the stock exchange, with the latter mainly in China.

When a securities company engages in this business, it may entrust a person other than the securities company to act as a securities broker, but the person must have the qualification of securities practice. Therefore, the securities qualification examination is very important.

Institutions engaged in this business and their consultants provide paid consulting services such as direct or indirect securities investment analysis, prediction or suggestion for securities investors or customers.
