DFCC Stockbrokers, formerly Forbes ABN AMRO Securities, is one of the oldest and most established brokerages in Sri Lanka, with an operating history that extends back to the late 1890s when the share broking industry began in the country. The firm offers a full broking service backed by a highly competent research capability and its staff includes some of the most experienced and capable professionals in the business.

DFCC Stockbrokers has consistently ranked within the upper league of the industry. Accounting for one of the largest client-bases amongst broking firms - a base that includes the key local investors, institutional and retail - DFCC Stockbrokers also has access to foreign investors. This all round capability has enabled the firm to originate some of the larger transactions executed on the Colombo Stock Exchange.

Besides transactions of listed equity on the stock exchange, DFCC Stockbrokers has also originated private equity placements. The firm is also gearing its capabilities to handle the trading of debt and will be well positioned to offer this service when government securities are listed on the Stock Exchange shortly.

DFCC Stockbrokers therefore represents a complementary component in the range of financial services offered by DFCC Bank, which includes corporate finance, venture capital and fund management.
