Excessive Trading
Securities brokers are required to trade their customers’ accounts suitably not only concerning the securities they recommend, but also the frequency in which they execute trades. When brokers trade their customers’ accounts in an excessive manner, it can prove to be incredibly harmful to them. This is because it prevents them from seeing their desired returns and causes sales charges to add up. These sales charges in turn cause their principal investment to deteriorate and make it even more difficult for them to see any profits.
