Explanation:

Brokers must perform a proficiency test and demonstrate asset solvency to register in the commissions or securities superintendence of each country, and thus be able to carry out their activity. They can also delegate their functions to agents, but the responsibility is always the responsibility of the agent. In general, they have a bachelor's degree in one of the fields of economic sciences: accounting, administration, economics, actuarial sciences or finance. In the case of brokers in the form of a legal entity, they must be under the supervision of a control body.
