Where can I look at the tariffs for servicing the securities market at BKS Company LLC?

Tariffs for servicing the RCB (Appendix 11 to the Regulations) are located on the website of LLC "Company BKS" in the "" section.

Why is the Company's remuneration deducted from me if I do not trade?

There is a minimum monthly broker fee equal to 200 rubles, which is withheld if several conditions stipulated by Appendix No. 11 to the Regulations are simultaneously met, regardless of the presence of transactions on the account:

  • more than 6 months have passed since the conclusion of the general agreement;

At the same time, the specified minimum commission is reduced by the remuneration already paid to BKS Company LLC within the tariff plan, including software fees, depositary costs and other types of remuneration.

What is the cost of using the QUIK trading terminal?

Client's obligation to pay for the provision software into use (if non-compliance preferential terms provided for in Appendix No. 11 to the Regulations) does not depend on the Client’s actual actions to use the program, including by viewing quotes and placing orders.

Otherwise, the first QUIK/WebQUIK (PocketQUIK) terminal is provided free of charge. For each subsequent terminal a commission is charged, regardless of the account status.

I made only one trade this month, why am I blocked for more than the fee for this trade?

If the Client has made at least one trading operation and the commission for the transaction is written off, then from the moment of the first operation the balance of the minimum amount per month under the tariff plan begins to be blocked.

For example: tariff plan“Professional”, the minimum monthly remuneration is 177 rubles. The client completed a transaction and the minimum commission for the day was 35.40 rubles. From this day on, the remaining amount will begin to be blocked, in proportion to the calendar days. This amount will be reduced by the remuneration already paid to BKS Company LLC for transactions. The blocked commission amount will be written off on the last working day of the month.

I am a client of one of the branches of BKS Company LLC. In May 2008, at the persuasion of the investment consultant of this company, I deposited 20.5 million rubles into a brokerage account. and subscribed to the "BCS - VIP-Broker" service. As part of this service, a consultant from Moscow was supposed to call me and give recommendations on what to buy when and what to sell when. I was promised a profitability of around 60-100% per annum, they said that BCS employs professionals, in addition, BCS has insider information about shares of the 2nd and 3rd echelons. My consultant's name was Anton Kletsky. At first he actually called me and offered to buy certain shares. Since I don’t understand this well, I agreed with everything he told me, and he himself bought me the shares he recommended. There were about 4-5 calls in total. By the end of 2008, from my 20.5 million rubles. 0.5 million rubles left. I was shocked!! I started calling him myself and asking how this could happen? He explained everything by the crisis, saying that even Sberbank fell 8 times, and the securities of the 2nd and 3rd echelons that were bought for me, even more, and said that as soon as growth began, my shares would also grow. Like a fool, I believed it. A year has passed. The market really grew, and my account was still estimated at 0.5 million rubles. The last papers that were purchased for me were back in 2008 - TyumenDorStroy and Nytva. I got worried and started calling Kletsky in Moscow, but they told me that he had been fired. I became even more worried. From the branch employees, I learned that Kletsky was fired for manipulating shares of the 2nd tier, in particular, BryanskOblGaz. And along with him, another consultant, Anton Manaev, was fired for the same thing. Then I sat down and began to sort through my transaction reports and discovered that 70% of the transactions in my account were made without my instructions. Kletsky never called me and took instructions from me to buy or sell these securities. After consulting with specialists, I realized that Kletsky simply transferred 20 million rubles. from my account to another brokerage account through transactions with illiquid securities. I started writing a complaint to the management of BCS. But in response to all the complaints I received banal replies: like, your application is being checked, thank you for the information, we will take this into account in our future work. As a result, in the fall of this year I wrote statement of claim to court. BCS lawyers put forward a motion to transfer the case to the Central District Court of Novosibirsk, since, in their opinion, the BCS Rules contain a clause on contractual jurisdiction:

39.1. All disputes and disagreements between BCS Company LLC and the Client regarding the provision of BCS Company LLC services on the market valuable papers and the commission of other actions provided for by these Regulations are resolved through negotiations, and if no agreement is reached, they are submitted for resolution to the Central District Court of Novosibirsk (in relation to Clients - individuals), Arbitration court Novosibirsk region(in relation to Clients - legal entities) with mandatory compliance with the pre-trial claims procedure for resolving disputes.

The court of first instance rejected this petition, since at the time of signing the agreement this clause was not in the Regulations, and BCS did not provide evidence that I was familiar with the inclusion of this clause in the Regulations. However, BKS filed a private complaint to Regional court, which was satisfied yesterday, and now I will have to prove the theft of my money in Novosibirsk...

I think even a child understands what scenario the process will develop in Novosibirsk, even without taking into account the fact that I will have to litigate remotely...

Who thinks about this, write. There are probably a lot of people who have been scammed by this company. Write everything you think. If you do not want to join the forum, then write to E-mail:

Based on data from internal accounting registers, the company prepares internal reporting, reporting to clients and regulatory authorities.

Internal company reporting is prepared to manage and direct the company's work, control and plan operations.

Professional participants in the securities market are required to provide clients with periodic reports on transactions carried out for of this client.

The broker-dealer company provides the client with copies of the primary reporting documentation(Contract, payment order, extract from the register, etc.) for the purposes accounting and taxation in accordance with the existing Russian practice accounting and document flow and payment procedures, stipulated by the contract with the client.

In addition, the company provides the client with periodic reports to inform him about the transactions carried out with his funds. Most often, these are daily reports necessary for a client working with a company under a commission agreement to make management decisions.

In their internal accounting, brokers and trustees keep records of the transactions of all their clients, regardless of the form of the agreement and the frequency of transactions with a given client.

The company provides the client with a regular report on the movement and condition of his assets. The asset status report, in terms of information on securities, includes only the client’s securities transferred by him to the company under the agreement, including those received during the execution of the agreement.

If the client has concluded several contracts with the company, a report on the movement and condition of his assets is presented to the client for each contract separately.

The information contained in the report on the movement and condition of the client's assets is confidential. The company and the client are mutually responsible for non-disclosure of report data to third parties. Information about the name of the client is confidential and is not subject to disclosure to third parties.

The report on the movement and condition of the client’s assets contains the following information:

  • - All transactions with the client’s securities, including completed and unfinished transactions.
  • - Remainder Money client at the beginning of the reporting period.
  • - Payments for the period after the submission of the last report.
  • - Commissions paid by the client.
  • - Dividends and interest received in the name of the client (in case the company is a nominee holder, and in cases where interest comes in the name of the company).
  • - Registration fees and other costs paid by the company from the client's funds.
  • - Other amounts withheld from the client in the process of fulfilling the terms of the contract with him.
  • - Client’s cash balance at the end of the reporting period.
  • - Commission payable.
  • - The number of securities and investments owned by the client and transferred by him to the company under the agreement as of the date of the report.
  • - Data about the client's portfolio. In the client's portfolio on a separate line securities received in advance must be distinguished from securities expected to be received and issued under concluded agreements in the context of current and expected settlements. The reference document should indicate the securities given in advance.
  • - Data about market value client portfolio. The method for assessing the market value of a portfolio is determined by an agreement between the company and the client. In the absence of one, an assessment technique can be used net assets mutual funds.

When preparing a report to a client, the company must adhere to the following principles: stock trading stock broker

  • - Information about all transactions with securities carried out by the company on its own behalf and at the expense of the client, on behalf of the client and at his expense, is reflected in the internal accounting registers on the day of the transaction, i.e. no later than the end of the business day when the transaction was completed. If a company receives information about the fact of a transaction with securities later than the end of the business day when the transaction was completed, then the specified operation is reflected in the internal accounting registers no later than the end of the business day when information about the transaction was received.
  • - Cost indicators can be indicated both in rubles and in foreign currency in accordance with the principle of multicurrency accounting. The company may also present data in the report in any currency in accordance with the agreement with the client.
  • - Data on transactions with different types securities may be included in the report in the form of separate blocks in accordance with accepted reporting forms (government securities, derivative securities, corporate securities, etc.) indicating the share of securities of each type in general structure client's investment portfolio.

A report on the movement and condition of the client’s assets is presented to each client of the company with the following frequency:

  • - At least once a month if operations were carried out on the client’s account during this period.
  • - At least once a quarter if no transactions were carried out on the account during this period, but there is a balance of cash and/or securities on the account.
  • - A report on the client’s account status is submitted within 5 business days following the end of the reporting period.
  • - At least once a month the client is presented with the necessary primary documents for each transaction carried out for him in order to prepare reports according to Russian accounting standards.

Thus, reporting to the client can be divided into two types: daily and periodic (most often monthly). Daily reporting contains, as a rule, information about all transactions carried out during the day with the client’s assets, and should also contain information about<свободных>balances of funds and securities of the client. Under<свободным>The balance of the asset is understood as the value (amount, quantity) of the asset, taking into account changes under concluded agreements and instructions received from the client. Knowledge<свободного>The balance of the client's assets is also necessary for the company to control the client's orders so that it is impossible to execute the client's order if the latter does not have the required amount of assets. Periodic reporting contains, in addition to the daily report, information about the movement and balances of the client's available assets.

Since when providing brokerage services Periodic reports to the client are generated by both the back office and the accounting department; the following order of their interaction when preparing reports to the client is possible. The back office, in accordance with the requirements of regulations, generates the necessary reports and transmits them to the accounting department. The accounting department checks the accuracy of the information contained in the reports and draws up the document specified in the contract for the provision of intermediary services and serving as the basis for withholding remuneration and compensation for expenses incurred. This could be, for example, an act on the performance of services for a period or an act on the execution of an order, etc. Act, back office reports and copies primary documents, confirming the expenses incurred, are transferred to the client. The certificate of performance of services is signed by both parties.

In this article I would like to briefly look at an example report from one of the foreign brokers— Captrader. Why this broker? Firstly, I myself use his services for investments. Secondly, this broker opens an account with one of the largest and most reliable American brokers (Interactive Brokers), providing account insurance up to $500,000. At the same time, Captrader does not charge a monthly commission for inactivity, although it charges $1 more for completing a transaction. And finally, the broker has a menu in Russian. An overview on opening an account with Captrader can be found.

The TWS terminal in which trading takes place looks quite complex at first glance. By at least a beginner will likely find it easier to navigate all the numbers with a monthly report that is easy to produce and understand. How to do this as a Captrader client? To begin, go to the page www.captrader.com and select “Kontoverwaltung” (account management) in the upper right corner. The selection automatically redirects us to the login page for our account:


In the first two lines, enter the login and password you chose when opening the account. After this, recently a “security code” line appears at the bottom and on the linked mobile phone a 6-digit code is sent. In my case it arrives in seconds. We enter it and get to home page accounts:


Here we see total cost our assets, which consists of shares (i.e. purchased securities), cash (free money) and accruals - for example, dividends. This amount changes directly online if you keep the page open for some time and there are volatile instruments in your portfolio. There may also be a change in funds in the form of a graph, where account replenishments are visible in the form of a vertical upward column. From the value of the funds that we can withdraw at any time, we must thus subtract the number of different stocks/funds multiplied by the broker's commission. At Captrader in the US market it's $2 per share, so if you bought 10 different exchange-traded funds there, you could bet $20 less on withdrawal from the broker.

Now we are preparing our monthly report. Go to the Reports - Statements menu and set there the monthly period and the date of the last past month. You can also generate reports for other periods. We are waiting for “Create a report”.


IN general view The report looks like this:


I will consider only the points that are most interesting in my opinion. For example, we can once again see the value of our net assets in detail:


Consequently, the portfolio grew quite well in July. Next, we can call all our open positions:


Here we see the item “Base cost” - this is the initial or average price assets we purchased. Indicated in dollars and euros (last line, base currency of my account). Closing price is the average current price of an asset at which we could close transactions at the end specified period- i.e. July 31, 2018.

Accordingly, this price is used to calculate the value of our portfolio excluding cash and accruals. The unrealized gain or loss is simply the difference between the basis and the current value at the end of the period. This column can also be configured in the TWS trading terminal. When replenishing an account, the lower columns can be considered as priority - the assets there have declined more and their profit potential has increased (although they may continue to decline further).

In addition, you can separately consider monthly dividends:


The tax on dividends from a broker for Russian residents is 10%, i.e. 3% must be paid additionally in Russia. Compared to German bank account, then the dividends paid cannot be compared with interest rate German banks, which is positive purely symbolically. With an amount of 2000 € you can count on about 20-30 cents per month. Although, of course, we should not forget that in a severe crisis an aggressive investment portfolio(stocks, high-yield bonds) may experience large drawdowns of up to 30-50% from recent highs.

Graphical return

You can see a graph of your profitability by selecting the “Portfolio” section in the menu. The graph shows the net return on purchased assets, excluding account replenishment and cash. Moreover, it is possible to compare this profitability with several benchmarks - for example, with the American or global stock market:


A brokerage report is one of the most useful documents for analyzing trading performance on stock market. It reflects all cash flows for brokerage account, as well as the results (profit or loss) from trading operations. There you can find costs for margin lending, costs for brokerage and exchange commissions, dividend payments on shares, etc.

The brokerage report is not standardized. Its form differs from one broker to another. Let's look at what the fields mean in the brokerage report provided by Zerich Capital Management. The section: GENERAL INFORMATION offers the most information for an investor (or trader).

Plan T+2- Similar to T+1 - delivery of securities after 2 days.

Total planned cash flow (PLAN)- Receipt or debit of funds from a brokerage account, taking into account the trading mode (T+1 or T+2 plans)

This is a reflection financial result for one trading session.

That's all. Write in the comments what I missed and what other options there are.
