Zerodha Vs Ventura Securities Comparison

Here is a point by point comparison of Zerodha Vs Ventura Securities.

Zerodha is one of the leading discount brokers in India which has been recently founded in 2010. It is one of the very few stockbrokers that provides reasonable values across trading platforms, customer education and low brokerage. The broker is based out of Bangalore.

Ventura Securities, however, was launched much earlier, in the year 1994 as a full-service stockbroking company across asset classes.

Ventura has been one of the least complained about stockbroking house at NSE & BSE over the last few years giving a glimpse of the quality this broker brings to the table. On one hand, Zerodha allows trading at much cheaper overall brokerage while on the other Ventura Securities provides research reports, intraday tips, stock recommendations with complete customer service to its clients. So which one to choose?

Before we complete this comparison, we think one quick understanding of brokerage charges is important.

Full-service stockbrokers charge brokerage as a percentage of your trading turnover. For instance, if you place a trade of ₹10,000 for Equity delivery and your broker charges 0.4% or 40 paise as brokerage. This would mean, you will be charged 0.40% of ₹10,000 i.e. ₹40 as the brokerage for that particular trade.

Discount brokers, on the other hand, charge a flat rate brokerage (could be ₹10, ₹20 etc) irrespective of the trade value.

Make sure you understand this difference and then take a call. Here is a brokerage calculator for your reference.
