RC Securities’ interactive, e-commerce Web site, www.rcsecurities.com, is a unique brokerage service offering real-time, single-transaction trading of international securities. RC Securities is already in the process of pre-screening and pre-authorizing a number of International Business Corporations (IBCs), who will be using the service.
 

"Things just got easier for off-shore investors, our primary market, who have reacted enthusiastically to the site and to the range of services we offer," said David Putnam, Chairman of RCS. "Traditionally, trading in off-shore accounts has been laborious, complicated, and slow. The objective of RC Securities is to facilitate online trading for IBCs and off-shore Trusts from anywhere in the world, on the major stock exchanges of the world, on a 24-hour fully confidential basis. RCS’s services are a first in a market that is worth an estimated US$7 trillion."
 

RC Securities recently participated in Shorex ’99, the premier international offshore tax planning and financial services exhibition and conference, held in Toronto. With over 50 corporate displays and sponsors including Smith Lyons and Barclays, the exhibition introduced RC Securities to a large group of offshore investors.
 

The site was opened for business after successfully completing rigorous beta testing and scrutiny and feedback from the public, who were allowed to browse the site over the last month. All support elements are in place, including a fully trained staff in and a customer support call centre. RC Securities will start with North American markets and roll-out real-time international markets in the coming months to ensure operational efficiency in each of the global markets. The addition of offshore mutual funds and real-time stock quotes should be available in the near future.
