FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is responsible for regulating all U.S. brokers and brokerage firms doing business with investors in the United States and other countries. Under FINRA suitability requirements (FINRA Rule 2111) brokers and brokerage firms have a duty to recommend suitable financial products and trading strategies based on their client’s financial interests.
Facts about each investor, such as their financial situation/needs, age, employment status, tax status, investment objectives and experience, risk tolerance, and what other investments they may be holding must be taken into consideration by brokers/financial advisors in order to meet the “reasonable diligence” requirement of FINRA’s suitability rule. These factors help determine the suitability of a particular investment or investment strategy for a particular investor.
KlaymanToskes can help you determine if your investment loss is due to unsuitable investment advice. Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to recover losses through FINRA arbitration. KlaymanToskes works on a contingency basis, meaning we do not collect a fee unless we are able to obtain a financial recovery for you.
