Soft Dollar Commission Program
News  
FutureTrade Securities offers the flexibility of purchasing approved research products and services using soft dollars. Simply put, soft dollars are brokerage commissions used to purchase research products and services that support your business.

With FutureTrade's soft dollar program, clients are able to offset research costs with their FutureTrade commissions. As defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 section 28(e), a predetermined portion of commission dollars can be used to pay research related costs. Expenses are paid on the client's behalf to vendors who can provide a wide range of information services including:


    »  Fundamental, technical, and/or quantitative analysis.

    »  Portfolio management and valuation, including asset allocation

    »  Economic Forecasting

    »  News and Quotes


Upon a client's request, FutureTrade Securities is invoiced by the service and pays the approved items with “hard” dollars. Clients pay FutureTrade in “soft” dollars (i.e. brokerage commissions) directing some portion of their trades through FutureTrade Securities.

FutureTrade offers the flexibility to use the difference between your customary commission rates and FutureTrade's rate to apply to the soft dollar program.
