How safe is it to trade with Zerodha?

  1. Businesses that shut down usually will be loss making businesses and not profitable ones. We are probably among the most profitable if you look at earnings from pure retail broking.

  2. We have zero debt on our books, no money every borrowed. We don’t lend any money either, if anyone wants facility like margin funding, we pass the lead onto our partner IL&FS.

  3. We are usually among the first companies to file our IT returns, usually companies in trouble will delay and sometimes not file at all.

  4. We have almost zero complaints against us on the exchanges by our clients in the almost 4 years of being in the business.

  5. We are quite conservative in terms of leverage/intraday margins, changing quite fast based on the market volatility. High leverage is usually the culprit for disasters, both for clients and brokerages.

  6. We have been acknowledged by various newspapers and also awarded CII Emerging Entrepreneur award where the due diligence was done by Grand Thornton.

  7. Members of recognized exchanges and regulated by SEBI/FMC. Even if a brokerage decides to shut down the client funds should ideally be safe if not there is also an investor protection fund setup by exchanges (more than Rs 1000 crores at NSE) which can be used in such cases

  8. Constantly looking at empowering clients by sharing as much knowledge and giving access to as many trading tools as possible.

Can keep going on, :slight_smile:

Cheers,
