It is very important that securities brokers execute trades in their customers' accounts at a suitable frequency. When securities brokers trade their customers' accounts excessively, it can cause them significant financial harm. This is because investors are charged additional fees every time a transaction is executed on their behalf. A large portion of these fees are given to the recommending broker as their commissions. When a securities broker excessively trades their customer's account with the express purpose of generating additional commissions for themself, it is referred to as churning. This is a fraudulent trading practice that many securities broker unfortunately engage in.
