The definition of selling away is when a broker/financial advisor solicits clients to purchase securities not held or offered by the executing brokerage firm. Brokerage firms have lists of approved products that can be offered to clients by their brokers/financial advisors. These approved products usually undergo due diligence screenings. When a broker/financial advisor sells away from the firm's list of approved products, they may run the risk of selling something for which due diligence has not been completed, which may be a violation of securities regulations.
