What Global Securities does

Global Securities – Servicios y Mandatos Agente de Valores S.A. is a privately held Uruguayan securities agent and investment advisor headquartered in the Zona Franca de Colonia. Incorporated in Uruguay in 2002, the firm began operating as an investment advisor (Asesor de Inversiones) in 2014 and obtained formal Agente de Valores authorization from the Banco Central del Uruguay in August 2020, allowing it to act as a regulated securities intermediary. The firm operates with 11-50 employees under a relationship-led, sales-driven go-to-market targeting high-net-worth individuals in Uruguay with a minimum investment threshold of USD 200,000 and a stated objective of executing trades on the American stock market.

The firm offers two core products: non-discretionary brokerage accounts, where clients instruct all buy and sell orders, and discretionary managed accounts, where clients delegate portfolio management to Global Securities. Trade execution and custody are routed through three tier-1 international broker-dealer partners – Pershing LLC, Charles Schwab International, and Interactive Brokers LLC – while the firm distributes investment funds from leading global asset managers including Alliance Bernstein, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, MFS, Neuberger Berman, and Schroder. The firm maintains a Código de Ética, Conducta y Buenas Prácticas (Code of Ethics, Conduct and Good Practices) and an external audit relationship with Auren Uruguay.

Revenue is generated through securities brokerage commissions and investment advisory fees on a transaction-based and asset-based model, with detailed pricing contained in a Tarifario document that is not publicly disclosed. The firm sells exclusively through direct advisory relationships in Uruguay, serving a single customer segment (HNW individuals) and operating from a single office in Colonia del Sacramento. No digital channels, mobile applications, or proprietary technology platforms are evidenced in the source data, and no AI, automation, or data-driven advisory tooling has been disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• JP Morgan Private Bank: Global private banking franchise serving HNW and UHNW clients, including in Uruguay and across Latin America. Overlaps with Global Securities in serving wealthy clients seeking cross-border (especially US) investment exposure, but operates at vastly greater scale and with full in-house execution and custody.
• UBS Wealth Management: One of the largest global wealth managers with deep Latin America presence (notably Uruguay and Argentina). Competes with Global Securities for the same pool of regional HNW families seeking international diversification, but with broader product capabilities and balance sheet.
• Itaú Private Bank: Brazilian/Latin American bank with a sizable private banking franchise spanning the region. Competes for the same regional HNW client pool seeking international (US) equity exposure, with broader balance sheet and proprietary research capabilities.
• Santander Private Banking: Global private bank with a significant Latin American wealth management footprint, including Uruguay. Competes with Global Securities for cross-border HNW clients seeking US and international investment products, with deeper in-house product and credit capabilities.

Regional players

• LarrainVial: Major Chilean brokerage and wealth manager with a strong Latin America investment platform. Similar LatAm-anchored wealth advisory model serving HNW clients, with comparable use of international execution partners and a regional rather than single-country footprint.
• Balanz: Argentine wealth management and brokerage firm serving HNW individuals with access to local and international (primarily US) markets. Closely comparable product mix — discretionary and non-discretionary accounts for affluent clients — and a similar relationship-driven distribution model.

Direct peers

• Interactive Brokers: Technology-driven global brokerage providing direct US and international market access to sophisticated retail and HNW clients, including those based in Latin America. Doubles as a Global Securities partner and a direct substitute: clients could bypass the local intermediary and trade through IBKR directly.
• Charles Schwab International: Global brokerage arm providing US market access to non-US residents, including Latin American HNW clients. Functions both as a core execution/custody partner for Global Securities and as a competing channel that Uruguayan HNW investors could use directly.
