• DUE DILIGENCE (MEETING)
  
  A meeting conducted by the underwriter of a new offering at which brokers can ask representatives of the issues questions about the issuer's background and financial reliability and the intended use of the proceeds. Brokers who recommend investment in new offerings without very careful due diligence work may face lawsuits if the investment should go sour later.
