Manage Recommendations

AVAILABLE IN:

Introduction

A Recommendation is information suggesting or advising one or more financial instruments, including any opinion on their current or future value or price. Unlike a Strategy, a Recommendation does not allocate specific quantities of assets. This gives you, as a Client or Portfolio Manager, the flexibility to decide how much of the instrument to purchase.
