A range of services for private and institutional clients
The independent investment advisory service pursuant to the MiFID II Directive allows clients to maintain their investment operations with their own credit institution while benefiting from Banor’s expertise.
Clients are supported in the process of building and monitoring an optimal portfolio, tailored to their risk/return profile and individual needs.
The service for receiving and transmitting orders from private and institutional clients covers the primary and secondary markets for equities, fixed income, foreign exchange and derivatives.
Thanks to a well-established network of relationships and access to the main markets and various liquidity venues, Banor offers advantageous execution conditions, in terms of both pricing and fees, in Italy and abroad, as well as flexibility, speed of execution and a personalised service.
Non-discretionary services give clients the opportunity to define how they wish to operate their portfolio, while delegating to Banor the activities of receiving, transmitting and executing orders. The range of services is completed by the custody and administration of securities.
