Investopedia explains 'Limited Trading Authorization'A step down from full authorization, limited trading authorization allows a broker or agent to purchase and sell securities at his or her discretion. This is often used when a client does not know much about investing, and trusts the broker to properly manage his or her account. In circumstances where the client is a knowledgeable investor, limited authorization can allow the client to capitalize on broker recommendations. |
