These firms offer many, if not more, of the services the smaller investment brokerages do. Investment banking, security trading, financial advisory, research, annuities, and life insurance are some of the more common products. What many smaller investment brokerages can not offer though is the ability to underwrite a company’s security to allow it to go public. Though these firms may be large, the individual investor is still a large part of their bottom line. They also acquire business from institutional, corporate, and governmental investors.
