Jeff Seely (born 1954 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American chief executive and the CEO of Recruiting.com, Inc., located in Seattle, Washington. He previously was an executive in the securities industry and was chairman and chief executive officer of ShareBuilder Corporation until its 2007 sale to ING Direct. In 1998, Seely created ShareBuilder Securities as an online brokerage to serve middle market investors and to encourage people to start investing and save regularly. Seely pioneered the concept of allowing automatic dollar-based investing in any stock or exchange traded fund, which provided a practical and affordable way for the retail investor to employ dollar-cost averaging as an investment method in those securities. There were several elements incorporated in the design of the automatic investing system that were highly innovative and that eliminated much of the back office cost associated with retail customer trades, thereby making dollar-cost averaging functional and affordable. The United States Patent and Trademark office issued Patent 8,682,771 covering the method of aggregating individual investor purchase orders to enable fractional share, dollar-based investing. In 1999, these were the first retail brokerage accounts where every communication and business process was conducted electronically. New account applications, account approvals, monthly customer statements and trade confirmations were all processed over the internet and/or sent electronically. ShareBuilder’s automatic investing system was the first commercial program that employed an in-house share accounting system that accepted customer orders for any stock or ETF on a dollar-denominated basis, instead of specified share amounts. This enabled the investor to set a pre-determined dollar amount for monthly investing and accumulate both whole and fractional shares of stock as the program executed. Most importantly, this form of investing is based on aggregating customer orders across all stocks being bought, enabling the trade cost to be spread across a multitude of buyers and allowing efficient order execution for even small orders. For example, a customer investing only $50 in both Google and Microsoft every month would have their order grouped with thousands of dollars' worth of other orders, enabling better order execution, fractional share purchases and a commission as low as $1 per transaction. Jeff is a trustee on the Washington State Investment Board, which oversees more than $90 billion of pension assets for state employees, a Director of Concur, a leader in corporate travel and spend management software, a director of Delta Dental of Washington and a director of Lighter Capital, Inc.. Jeff holds a BA degree from St. Lawrence University, 1976 and an MBA from Columbia University Graduate School of Business, 1980. ==External links== *(Official bio ) *(Dot-com gives small investors a leg up, USA Today ) *(Jeff Seely WSU Entrepreneur in Residence ) *(A little at a time adds up, Seattle Times ) * http://southflorida.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2006/03/13/editorial3.html?page=2 *() 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Seely」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
