Selling away refers to when a broker solicits a client to purchase securities that are not held or offered by the executing brokerage firm. Brokerage firms have lists of approved securities that can be sold to clients. The approved securities have typically undergone due diligence screenings and been identified as products that are safe for clients to invest in. When a broker offers unapproved securities to clients, there are risks that due diligence has not been properly completed. Selling away is a violation of workplace rules in most cases, as well as broader securities regulations.
