Interactive Investor

[robertbanking]

Hello, hope you are doing well and ready for the weekend.

I am doing a banking course at University and i am a long term investor mainly in US stocks. I like giving back and want to help various charities in the future including the children's hospital. I kindly wondered please if anyone knows the technology that powers popular brokerages like ii.co.uk (Interactive Investor)? I would love to hopefully own my own brokerage company in the future and how can i kindly learn more about how these are managed please such as adding stocks to the platform for investors to purchase?

Thank you very much for any support you can give. Take care and have a great day!

Interesting topic. I have seen that smaller forex and crypto brokers are plugged into a larger liquidity pool in order to provide enough liquidity. I would imagine stocks work in a similar way

Interactive Investor and similar brokerages are built on layered systems: a client-facing web and mobile platform, an order management system to process trades, connections to exchanges and liquidity providers, market data services, and back-office infrastructure for clearing, custody, reporting, and compliance. Much of this is outsourced to specialist providers because of cost and regulation. To learn more, study trading system architecture, market structure, and FCA regulations. Reading fintech case studies, following brokerage technology providers, and exploring API-based brokerage platforms will help you understand how stocks are onboarded and platforms are operated.
