Over 23 Years Strong

The remarkable story of Firstrade began 23 years ago as the discount broker First Flushing Securities, serving the investment needs of the local community. Achieving steady and organic growth, the company caught sight of the benefits to be gained from tapping into the capabilities of the Internet. Truly a pioneer in online trading, Firstrade.com was launched in 1997 joining only a handful of other online stock brokers on the web.

Firstrade's commitment to offer the most for the least struck a chord with investors. Firstrade.com grew rapidly, providing self-directed investors with fast order execution, excellent customer service, and exceptional site performance. Major industry publications including Barrons, Forbes, and SmartMoney have all rated Firstrade among the best online brokers for consecutive years. In 2005, Firstrade was named the "Best Deal" in the online discount broker category by Smart Money Magazine, and continued the streak in 2006 when Kiplingers Magazine called Firstrade the "Clear Winner in the Mutual Funds Category" and "Top Clean-Hands Firm".*

Many competitors have come and gone, but Firstrade today continues to serve our customers with the same friendly, dedicated, and personal touch that has been our principle since day one. We are also constantly developing new products and services, with many new and exciting features on their way! To all our customers, thank you for choosing Firstrade as your

online broker!
