A futures broker refers to a natural person who signs an intermediary contract with a futures company, provides the futures company with the opportunity to sign a contract or a futures brokerage contract, and pays the remuneration by the futures according to the agreement, and independently bears the civil liability arising from the intermediary relationship. In China, futures intermediaries usually refer to futures brokers.
Article 242 of the Contract Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "An intermediary contract is a contract in which the intermediary reports the opportunity to conclude a contract to the client or provides media services for concluding a contract, and the client pays the remuneration." Article 10 of the Supreme People's Court's Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Futures Disputes, which came into effect in July 2003, stipulates: "If a citizen or a legal person is entrusted by a futures company or a customer to provide intermediary services for signing a contract or signing a futures brokerage contract, the futures company or the customer shall pay remuneration to the intermediary as agreed. The intermediary shall independently bear the civil liability arising from the intermediary brokerage relationship. " This is the basic legal connotation of futures intermediaries.
Legally speaking, a futures broker is an individual or legal person who introduces or provides signing opportunities for investors or futures companies. Its main function is to act as an intermediary when investors sign brokerage contracts with futures companies. Its intermediary behavior refers to reporting the information of concluding a contract or providing media services for concluding a contract. However, in the actual futures market, futures brokers not only do intermediary introduction, but also engage in futures trading activities including investment consulting and trading agency.
Compared with securities, banks and other financial institutions, China's futures companies are relatively weak, and it is difficult to bear high and fixed human operating costs. Especially in the past two years, new varieties of futures have been continuously introduced, and the pace of market innovation has accelerated, so the demand for employees of futures companies is more urgent. The low-cost middleman marketing model has alleviated the contradiction between supply and demand of futures marketers to some extent. At the same time, compared with the newly recruited employees of futures companies, futures intermediaries have more network advantages and can bring considerable customer resources.
To become a futures broker, you need to have a certain amount of futures customer resources first, and then contact the futures company to introduce more than three effective futures customers for the futures company, or the cumulative amount of funds introduced by customers reaches more than 654.38+ 10,000, so you can apply to become a futures broker. Futures brokers work part-time, working time and place are free, and the commission is returned about 15 per month. And now you can open an account with a futures mobile phone. No matter where the customer is, he can handle business in the futures account, and the futures company is responsible for the follow-up service.
