Does anyone know when direct takes over from ANZ Some months ago, there was great urgency to register and get details in order but we havn"t heard any more
Placed a buy order at about 10.09 this morning. Account says placed at 10.11. It is now 10.51 and has yet to appear on depth page. Some shares traded at 10.14 at my bid and the buy price queue has grown with my order yet to show. Emailed them for explanation. Yet to receive a reply.
A market is when all bids and offers are shown. If not shown then it is not a market.
Left the order in for an hour. No change so cancelled it.
Replaced the order. It took 5 minutes before it showed on the depth page. This did not matter in this case but in a quick moving market I would have been annoyed at the delay in placing and showing in the market.
this is a common issue with brokers in nz , there is no such thing as direct to market order on the nzx for retail clients. they will first check to see if they can match your order in house then they will check to make sure your order will not distort the market then they may place your order. in a fast moving market crash most people will not be able to exit quickly.
Hi 777, I had the virtually the same experience yesterday, with processing an order which show up as placed on the screen but not showing in the market depth for some time so I rang one of their traders. It turns out that there is a manual component involved at their end to put an order through to the markets. They were short staffed yesterday due to January holidays and were struggling to keep up with the amount of orders.
Hence if there is ever a rush for the exits, we are no show to get an order in the queue.
Is CHI-X no longer quoted in the depth and sales?
(Answer yes it does but not until market open it would seem)
I was asked to complete a survey on improvements to the platform before the sale went through,by first nz capital,none of the improvements for traders ever happened,the only difference they added shareclarity which I couldn't care about anyway.
So same old same old I'm afraid,it takes forever to to see your order go to depth,even if you buy or sell at bid or ask it takes ages to go through.
I sent an email and told them I was totally unimpressed with it. My main hope was that the data would go live,but no such luck.
It's straight out hopeless for trading. The data is live. Your orders simply aren't placed until the broker is back from their coffee/toilet break. Took them 41 minutes to place a market sell once. I now only use them for my looooong term investments where it's unlikely that I'll need to take hasty action.
I find the way they use their discretion with my orders extremely irksome and slowness to market is often very problematic.
Maybe ASB securities is better now days, it wouldn't be hard to be lol
Only improvement is the call account interest rate of 2% for over $50K which is nice. Share clarity is completely useless in my opinion.
Aaron McGrath
Client Experience Manager
Aaron joined FNZC in 2018 as Client Experience Manager in the Direct Wealth division as part of the Direct Broking acquisition (originally ANZ Securities). He is responsible for ensuring our Direct Broking clients have a seamless and world class experience from account opening (on-boarding) through to client queries and trade executions.
Prior to joining FNZC, Aaron worked in various roles at ANZ Bank. Starting in 2001, he worked in Institutional Operations leading International Payments and Market Operations teams. He was part of the integration of ANZ NZ Securities (formerly Direct Broking Limited) into ANZ Market Operations in 2013 and most recently has been Operations Manager of ANZ NZ Securities covering equity and fixed interest settlements, Client On-boarding (account opening) and the Client Service Team.
Outside of work, Aaron enjoys restoring classic cars and will jump at any opportunity to head out on the water in summer.
I was a dedicated long-term fan of ASB Securities, but completely left them about a year ago.
Direct Broking are yet to prove themselves inept (if they in fact are) but I eventually found ASB Securities hopeless to deal with. It took a great deal of work and 5 months to get myself out from under the Margin Lending stranglehold they had on me. I feel so relieved to have done so. So far I've had no problems with ANZSecurities/Direct Broking.. fingers crossed.
DB used to get orders to market within 1 or 2 minutes. Now at times it can take the best part of an hour.
I even have had an Buy order partly filled, and the balance of the order not showing up on the debt. Subsequent transactions were lower than my buy order which was being ignored, then the price jumped and I had to increase the buy offer to get it filled.
I suspect that they tried to fill the order in house.
On top of that it seems returning e-mails is not a priority, still waiting for an answer of an e-mail send in December.
Yesterday and today I tried to get hold of Aaron McGrath, the Client Experience Manager by phone no luck.
I am not impressed.
Sad sad way how direct broking seem to be loosing the plot. :(
