What Does This Mean?
Securities brokers obtain information about their customers before they begin executing trades on their behalf. This information includes crucial details such as their net worth, debt, investment objectives, annual income, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and more. Brokers are then supposed to use this information to determine how they should invest their new customer’s money. Some less than scrupulous securities brokers might ignore this information and invest their customers in securities that are contrary to their needs. Investors can experience serious financial losses as a result of this action.
