execution only services are for people who want to manage their own investments. ie say i'm massively wealthy and have a good understanding of the financial markets. so my advisor (at a private bank - ie barclays wealth) will be the one i call to say buy this or sell that, or i want to do this etc. they arent providing me with advice as i know what i'm doing. they are literally there to execute the services that i require.

as far as i'm aware advisory services are for those who arent as financially savvy - so would require a bit more explanation etc. so the advisor is the one who is giving advice to the client and then the client can choose what they want to do.
