What Does This Mean?
Securities brokers have a legal obligation to act only in the best interests of their customers. Despite this, some securities brokers still engage in self-serving practices detrimental to their customers. One such practice is known as churning. This process takes place when a securities broker trades a customer’s account to excess with the purpose of generating more commissions for themselves. If an investor believes they have experienced losses due to a securities broker churning their account, they may be entitled to damages.
