Front-Running
A form of insider trading
Front running occurs when investment planners, analysts or exchange dealers purchase securities before recommending them to their customers, or when bank employees execute customers' orders only after they have bought or sold the relevant security for their own account.
Front running is prohibited by the Securities Trading Act.
