Unauthorized trading occurs when a broker buys or sells investments in a client’s account without first obtaining permission. In a nondiscretionary account, the client controls each investment decision, so the broker generally must receive approval before placing a trade. This protection allows the client to evaluate the security, price, timing, risks, and possible costs. Trades made without authorization may cause financial losses, tax consequences, unwanted exposure, or investments that do not match the client’s objectives.
