ABN AMRO wins Sharebroking Firm of the Year at 2007 INFINZ Awards

“ABN AMRO wins hotly contested award”

“Stocks are volatile, interest rates are up and the financial markets look downright scary. This is one of those times when good sharebrokers earn their keep. Even the best brokers cannot totally accurately predict the future or stop the sharemarket going down, but if they have done their jobs well, their clients should be able to weather the financial storms.

This years voting criteria covered quality of research, back office processing and investment banking performance”.
