intermediary |
Individual or entity that is sanctioned to make investment decisions for others--also called "financial intermediary". An intermediary is used because they are investment specialists that usually can obtain higher returns than the average investor. Moreover, because they deal in large dollar volumes, they can easily diversify the assets. Examples of some intermediaries are brokerage firms, mutual funds, banks, and insurance companies.
