Trade Fees:
Trade fees vary
depending on the trade amount, type of security traded, and the
stock exchange traded on. We cannot provide a fees list for trading
since it varies so much from one market to another, however, we
can say that trade fees are about the same as any full service
broker. Full service brokers normally charge a small percentage
(about 0.5%) of the trade instead of a standard fee. However,
when purchasing no-load mutual funds, the fund company will generally
cover the trade fee.

Account Features:
Each Panama corporate
brokerage account includes Internet access.
BACK
Internet Access:
Internet access
is provided so you can access your Panama corporate brokerage

either USD or Euro´s to the Panama corporate brokerage account.
Any transfers received in other currencies will be immediately

brokerage account is funded, you may convert your USD or Euro´s
to any other major currency, so in effect, the Panama corporate
