What this question trains
This problem practices a basic capital markets concept that often comes up in sales and trading interviews, the difference between execution and advisory roles. Candidates need to understand how professionals in S&T serve clients by facilitating trades rather than by giving individualized investment advice, and why that distinction affects their obligations to clients. Interviewers ask this because they want to see whether you understand the business model, the client relationship, and the legal and ethical boundaries of the role.
