Introducing Broker, (CPO)

A person or business that provides investing advice or counsel to an investor, but does not actually handle transactions. Generally speaking, introducing brokers make recommendations while delegating the task of executing trades to someone at the same or a different firm who operates on a trading floor. The introducing broker and the person(s) who execute a transaction split the fees and commissions according to some agreed upon arrangement. The term most often applies to brokers in the futures market.
