| STOCKBROKER OF THE YEAR |
Barclays Stockbrokers
Speed of access was important again this year. And Barclays came out on top. It calls itself the UK's number one retail stockbroker and Shares readers agree.

TD Waterhouse
TD Waterhouse was highly praised for the speed in which trades are executed. A crucial point, when it comes to a good online broker. Accuracy was also a strong point, with a number of readers choosing TD Waterhouse for its reliability in putting transactions through.

Comdirect
Comdirect is particularly good when it comes to its stop loss and limit order policies. They are valid for up to 90 days and cost no more than the normal £12.50 flatrate deal. The broker also allows additional orders that only require the cash to settle at the time of execution rather than when the order is placed. Shares readers liked the control this gives them. Comdirect's research was also flagged up as being an 'added bonus'. |
