At one time, there was a major distinction between securities firms. These were investment dealers on the one hand and stock brokers on the other, and individual securities firms tended to specialize as one or the other. This distinction has largely disappeared. In simple terms, an investment dealer acts as principal in securities transactions while a stock broker acts as agent. A securities firm acting as a dealer or principal owns the securities that are sold to or bought from investors. Thus, the securities are part of the firm's inventory. The difference between buying and selling prices is the dealer's gross profit or loss. On the other hand, the stock broker, as an agent, acts on behalf of the buyer or seller but does not own the securities. 6, record 1, English, - stockbroker

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Autrefois, il y avait une distinction très nette entre les firmes de courtage qui se spécialisaient soit comme agents de change, soit comme courtiers en valeurs mobilières. Cette distinction a disparu en grande partie. Dans les opérations boursières, le courtier se porte contrepartie alors que l’agent de change fait fonction de mandataire. Le courtier ou contrepartiste est propriétaire des titres qu’il achète ou vend aux investisseurs. Ces titres font donc partie de l’inventaire de titres de la firme. La différence entre le prix d’achat et de vente de ces titres constitue la perte ou le bénéfice brut du courtier. L’agent de change, quant à lui, agit pour le compte d’un vendeur ou d’un acheteur en tant que mandataire mais ne possède pas les titres. Ses revenus proviennent du courtage payé par le client. 6, record 1, French, - courtier
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le courtier est un mandataire ayant le statut de commerçant qui agit soit à la vente, soit à l'achat, pour le compte d’un ou de plusieurs mandants. Il met les parties en rapport, constate leur accord et est rémunéré par un courtage fixe ou proportionnel. Le commissionnaire agit en son nom propre pour le compte du commettant, il est rémunéré par une commission dont le taux est préalablement fixé d’après le prix des biens ayant fait l'objet de l'opération, et il a l'obligation de rendre compte à son commettant du prix auquel il a traité avec les autres contractants. 2, record 1, French, - courtier
