A Study on Brokerage Firm Selection in Capital Markets Using The BWM-Based MARCOS Method
Öz
One of the most critical decisions investors faces in capital markets is selecting the brokerage firm through which they will conduct their transactions. Especially for beginner investors, evaluating multiple criteria such as costs, service quality, and platform usability is of great importance. In this study, the Best-Worst Method (BWM) and the Measurement Alternatives and Ranking according to Compromise Solution (MARCOS) method, both of which are Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) techniques, were employed to determine the most suitable brokerage firm for the new investor profile. Firstly, criteria were evaluated based on three different investor profiles, and criterion weights were determined using the BWM method. Subsequently, the performances of five brokerage firms were analyzed according to the established criteria set using the MARCOS method. According to the results of the analysis, Alternative One achieved the highest suitability coefficient (K₀) and was identified as the most appropriate brokerage firm for beginner investors. This study offers an original contribution to the literature by demonstrating how the combined use of the BWM and MARCOS methods can enhance decision-support processes in capital markets. Additionally, it proposes a systematic approach for facilitating the decision-making process for beginner investors.
