It has become standard for brokerage houses to offer additional services -
portfolio management or investment advice. Among 38 brokerage houses that were
Exchange members (licensed to operate on the Exchange) at the end of 2000, 29
were authorised to operate on the derivatives market.
Three new Exchange members (ProCapital SA, DM POLONIA NET SA and Krakowski Dom
Maklerski) were licensed in 2000 to operate on the Exchange. Two brokerage houses
(DM PBK and DM AmerBrokers) were spun off from bank structures. DM POLONIA NET
took over Dom Maklerski BGK SA. For years, the leaders among the most active
brokerage houses have not changed. In 2000, CDM Pekao SA had the largest (13.2%)
share in equity turnover. DM BIG-BG SA was second (7.2%), followed by DI BRE Bank
SA (6.1%).
In terms of bond trading, CDM Pekao SA was first again (17.2%), Bank Handlowy SA
was second (15.4%), and DM Banku ¦l±skiego SA was third (10.4%).
