<h6>Analyzing the Top Brokers: Services, Fees &amp; Features</h6>
    <p>Brokerage houses are financial institutions that facilitate the buying and selling of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds on behalf of their clients. They act as intermediaries connecting buyers and sellers through their trading infrastructure.</p>
    <p>The primary source of revenue for a broker includes commissions on transactions, fees, and interest income from margin loans provided to clients to purchase stocks.</p>
    
    <h3>Key Functions of a Broker</h3>
    <h6>Trade &amp; Order Execution</h6>
    <p>Investors place orders to buy or sell securities, and brokers execute the orders on their behalf. Brokers also facilitate transactions for Initial Public Offering (IPO) securities, allowing investors to subscribe to new stock listings.</p>
    
    <h6>Market Research and Advisory Services</h6>
    <p>Brokers conduct market research to offer recommendations and insights, helping clients make informed investment decisions and manage their portfolios.</p>
    
    <h3>Main Products of a Broker</h3>
    <h6>Cash Account</h6>
    <p>A type of investment account where clients buy and sell securities using their own cash without borrowing funds.</p>
    
    <h6>Margin Account</h6>
    <p>A margin account allows clients to borrow funds from brokers to purchase securities, enabling them to leverage their investments. Brokers charge interest on the borrowed amount.</p>
