This paper investigates whether trades initiated through institutional brokers generated better return performance than trades through full-service or discount brokers, on the Toronto Stock Exchange from September 1999 to August 2000. Daily findings show that trades through institutional brokers outperformed those through full-service and discount brokers. Trades through full-service brokers outperform those through discount brokers. Monthly findings show that trades through institutional brokers outperform those through full-service brokers, and for only the largest sized transactions when compared to discount brokers. Trades through full-service brokers with discount brokers show full-service outperforming for only the smallest-sized trades. In addition, discount brokers are found to trade much more actively than full-service brokers who in turn are more active than institutional brokers.
