Brokers (104)

Every broker we could source for South Africa has a page here, including the ones that score badly and the ones that do not accept residents at all - that answer is the first line of each page, because it is the question the reader arrived with.

56 of them hold a local licence; the others onboard residents through a foreign entity, which each page names. A page shows a licence number where one is published and says plainly that none is where it is not.

Pages carry the date each figure was checked and the address it was read from. Where a figure belongs to a broker's whole group rather than to this country, it is marked as such instead of being quoted as local.

A page that looks half empty is telling you something. The blanks are the figures the broker does not publish for this market, and a broker that publishes less is a different proposition from one that publishes everything - which is why we show the gaps instead of filling them with a dash.

The order below is by computed score, so the brokers with the most complete measurements sit near the top. That is a property of the data, not an editorial preference, and the methodology page explains exactly how the figure is built.
