A Stockbroker is a financial professional who administers orders in the market on behalf of clients. A Stockbroker is also known as a registered representative (RR) or an Investment Advisor. Moreover, Stockbrokers work for brokerage firms and manage transactions for various individuals as well as institutional customers. Furthermore, brokers act as an intermediary between an investor and a securities exchange.
