The process of disbanding the group of UNDERWRITERS involved in pricing, marketing, and distributing a NEW ISSUE of securities. Once the SYNDICATE is broken the underwriters are free to trade securities in the SECONDARY MARKET without restriction. A typical syndicate is broken 30 days after initial launch, though it can be broken earlier by mutual agreement of the underwriters.
