executiononly

Executiononly refers to a type of financial service where a broker or platform solely executes trades on behalf of a client, without providing any investment advice or recommendations. This means the client makes all the decisions regarding which assets to buy or sell, and the platform's role is limited to facilitating those transactions. Executiononly services are typically offered at a lower cost compared to full-service brokerage, as they omit the advisory component. Clients using these services are generally expected to have a good understanding of financial markets and their own investment objectives. This model is popular among experienced investors who prefer to manage their own portfolios. It's important for users to understand that with executiononly services, the responsibility for investment choices and their outcomes rests entirely with the individual investor. Regulatory bodies often distinguish between executiononly and advisory services to ensure consumers are aware of the level of support they are receiving.
