best fringe benefits from a broker?

If you had a large enough account you could walk into any of their locations and they would let you use a private office as long as you like.

No if I had enough of large accounts with them, I want them to provide me private jets to take me and anybody who travel with me anywhere I want to go for vacations at any time and every time I travel, all expenses paid, hotels, restaurants, resorts, yachts, anything...
 
Obviously, you are both kidding, but soft dollar deals to the buy-side are severely limited and mostly they are used for conferences and research. Travel has been out of SEC 28(e) for about two decades or so.
If you're an individual why wouldn't you negotiate a better rate than pay them to bribe you?

Most buy-side shops require you to report meals and show/sports tickets above a threshold, usually $25/$50.

Perks are much better from Vegas Casino

This is on top of the better rate that I pay them. And besides is there a difference between brokerages and casinos? :sneaky:

Clearly you are confused.

The title of this thread is asking for the "best fringe benefits" that you would want from a brokerage. To me, just negotiation a better rate is not fringe, it's just my day-to-day business matter. "Fringe" means something extra and ornamental according to Merriam-Webster.

Oh well, to each their own.
