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. Managing Director
