Agent plays an important role

The agent (e.g. stockbroker, property, insurance) can play an important role in the new economy. They can help the customer to assess information, give advice and handle the transactions.

I communicate with my stockbroker by e-mail, mobile phone and SMS. I ask for information and also make transactions (to buy or sell shares or other securities). The stockbroker can ask his colleagues in the research department to get the information that I need.

I pay a brokerage of 0.3% on the shares that are transacted. This is much lower than the initial spread of 3% to 5% that is charged by unit trust and insurance funds.

I hope that the insurance industry and the agents can be as efficient as the stockbroking industry, and offer their products at lower cost to the customers.
