After the Fall of the Western Roman Empire, stockbroking did not become a profession until after the Renaissance, when government bonds were traded in Italian city-states such as Genoa and Venice. In 1602, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange (now Euronext Amsterdam) became the first official stock market with trading in shares of the Dutch East India Company, the first company to issue stock.[2] In 1698, the London Stock Exchange, opened at a coffeehouse.[3] On May 17, 1792, the New York Stock Exchange opened under a platanus occidentalis (buttonwood tree) in New York City, as 24 stockbrokers signed the Buttonwood Agreement, agreeing to trade five securities under that buttonwood tree.[4] Licensing and training requirements{{See also|List of securities examinations}}AustraliaInvestment professionals that offer financial advice in Australia must pass training pursuant to RG146 and hold a license that is overseen by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. They are subject to fiduciary obligations.[5] CanadaIn Canada, to be licensed as a "Registered Representative" or an "Investment Advisor" and thus be qualified to offer investment advice and trade all instruments with the exception of derivatives, an individual employed by an investment firm must have completed the Canadian Securities Course (CSC), the Conduct & Practices Handbook (CPH), and the 90-day Investment Advisor Training Program (IATP). Within 30 months of obtaining designation as a "Registered Representative", the registrant is further required to meet the post-licensing proficiency requirement to complete the Wealth Management Essentials course (WME). A Registered Representative is also required to complete 30 hours of professional development (product knowledge) and 12 hours of compliance training every three year continuing education cycle as set out by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC). To trade options and/or futures, a Registered Representative must pass the Derivatives Fundamentals Course (DFC) in addition to the Options Licensing Course (OLC) and/or the Futures Licensing Course (FLC), or alternatively, the Derivatives Fundamentals Options Licensing Course (DFOL) for options.[6][7][8] Hong KongIn Hong Kong, to become a representative one has to work for a licensed firm and pass 3 exams to prove competency. Passing a fourth exam results in obtaining a 'specialist' license. All tests can be taken with the Hong Kong Securities Institute (HKSI). After passing all tests, approval must be received by the Securities and Futures Commission. IndiaShare brokers in India are governed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India Act, 1992 and brokers must register with the Securities and Exchange Board of India. The National Stock Exchange of India and the Bombay Stock Exchange offer certification courses.

New ZealandIn New Zealand, the New Zealand Qualifications Authority oversees qualifications.

South KoreaIn South Korea, the Korea Financial Investment Association oversees the licensing of investment professionals. United KingdomStockbroking is a regulated profession in the United Kingdom and brokers must achieve a recognised qualification from the Appropriate Qualifications list of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI) is the largest UK professional body for investment professionals. It evolved from the London Stock Exchange, has around 40,000 members in over 100 countries and delivers more than 37,000 exams each year. [https://www.cfauk.org/ CFA UK] also offers qualifications. It represents the interests of around 11,000 investment professionals and is part of the worldwide network of members of the CFA Institute. Qualifications include: the [https://www.cisi.org/cisiweb2/cisi-website/study-with-us/wealth-retail/investment-advice-diploma CISI Level 4 Diploma in Investment Advice] and the [https://www.cisi.org/cisiweb2/cisi-website/study-with-us/wealth-retail CISI Level 7 Diploma in Wealth Management] United StatesThe Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), a self-regulatory organization, regulates investment professionals in the United States. Exams that individuals may take for accreditation include the Series 7 exam, the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Exam (Series 63), the Uniform Combined State Law Exam (Series 66), and the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Exam (Series 65). Individuals holding some of those licenses, such as the Series 6 exam, cannot be called stockbrokers since they are prohibited from selling stocks. Selling variable products, such as a variable annuity contract or variable universal life insurance policy, typically requires the broker to also have one or another state insurance department licenses. Individuals and firms are regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and laws related to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, including laws related to fiduciary.
