Morphology
customer's + broker
The noun phrase is compositionally straightforward: 'customer's' indicates possession/association and 'broker' denotes an agent who manages clients' accounts, so the meaning 'the broker of a customer' can be directly derived by combining the two constituents. Possessive + noun constructions are common and cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand this MWE.
Etymology
Customer's broker comes from a simple market image: a broker standing beside a customer, speaking for them to sellers and handling the deal. So it now means 'a person who manages a client's account' for a company or agency.
