About the Panama Brokerage Firm:

The Panama online discount brokerage accounts intro are established through our correspondent Panama online discount brokerage firm based in Panama City, Republic of Panama.  The Panama brokerage firm is an NASD registered, licensed and insured international financial institution.  All securities and cash deposits are held in custody by one of the worlds largest international clearing firms.  Each Panama brokerage account intro is insured through the SIPC (Securities Investor Protection Corporation) up to US$500,000 and carries additional insurance up to US$99.5 million through a major international insurance carrier.

The brokers/financial advisors are English or Spanish speaking, NASD registered, licensed brokers who can provide you with sound investment advice for investing in mutual funds, stocks, bonds, options, money markets, etc.  They mainly trade on the US and Canadian stock exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, Toronto, etc.), however, they can trade on most major securities exchanges around the globe.

Trade Fees:

Trade fees vary depending on the trade amount, type of security traded, and the stock exchange traded on.  We cannot provide a fees list for trade fees since it varies so much from security types and from one market to another, however, we can say that their discount brokerage fees range from US$50 to US$75 per trade depending on the security traded and the market it is traded on.  However, when trading no-load mutual funds, the fund company will generally cover the trade fees.
