Agent has even less money (6)
I believe the answer is:
broker
'agent' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for broker that I've seen before include "One buys and sells for others" , "Financial dealer" , "See 7" , "One acts as an agent for others in buying and selling" , "He buys and sells for others - say stocks" .)
