Glossary  Just call us Bond. Amortized bond.  Over 700 finance
terms, Shmooped to perfection.  Full-Service Broker   A full-
service broker does "everything", that is they don't have one
niche like currency trading or muni bonds that they really only
sell. A full service broker typically offers all financial
instruments, including options. They usually are paid through
commissions, which tend to be higher than brokers who just exist
to fill orders, so their long-term success can also depend on
their ability to offer tea and sympathy when their clients'
investments head south. Some also dispense back rubs on bad
market days to their bestest clients.  back to top
