The Stock Broker Agreement serves as the foundational document governing the relationship between licensed securities brokers and their clients in Malaysia. This agreement is required whenever a client wishes to engage a broker for securities trading services on Bursa Malaysia or other permitted exchanges. It encompasses essential elements such as trading authorizations, risk disclosures, fee structures, and compliance requirements mandated by Malaysian regulators, particularly the Securities Commission and Bursa Malaysia. The agreement must comply with the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007 and related regulations, while also addressing practical aspects of modern trading services, including electronic trading platforms and various types of securities products. It's designed to protect both parties' interests while ensuring transparency and regulatory compliance in securities trading operations.
