What Is Unauthorized Trading?

Unauthorized trading occurs when a securities broker places trades in a client’s account without the client’s permission or without discretionary authority. Financial advisors must receive prior approval for each trade unless the client has provided written authorization for discretionary trading. Unauthorized trades can result in significant investor losses and may be considered a breach of FINRA rules and fiduciary duty.
