Commission Broker Duties
Offer Advice: Commission brokers provide advice about what stocks to buy and sell. As they
earn a commission for each trade they execute for the customer, they typically make solicited
recommendations and suggest trade ideas to encourage trading volume.
Provide Research: A commission broker usually distributes the brokerage company’s proprietary
research to customers. Research reports might include buy and sell recommendations to urge
customers to trade.
Account Management: Commission brokers who are full-service stockbrokers may make
investment decisions on a customer’s behalf. Investors should review discretionary accounts
frequently to ensure their broker is not overtrading to generate additional commissions. For
example, a broker may be churning a customer’s account if they are buying and selling stocks
that operate in the same industry.
