In 2018, the majority of the revenue from a registered broker-dealer came from dealership activities such as portfolio management services, advisory services, and research support. The overall revenue in the financial brokerage industry witnessed a rising trend on account of a reduction in corporate tax for businesses and a falling rate of unemployment.
