What is Selling Away?

Selling away is when a broker solicits a client to purchase securities not held or offered by the executing brokerage firm. Brokerage firms generally have lists of approved products that can be offered by their brokers to clients of the firm. These approved products have usually undergone due diligence screenings and have been identified by the firm’s screening personnel as solid products.
