What is Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI)? 

FINRA’s (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) SEC Regulation Best Interest, a/k/a the SEC’s “Reg BI”, under the securities exchange act of 1934, establishes a “best interest” standard of conduct for brokers and brokerage firms making recommendations of securities investments and investment strategies to their customers. FINRA-regulated brokers, financial advisers, and brokerage firms have a responsibility to make recommendations with their customer’s best interest in mind, based upon the client’s personal needs and preferences. 

Under the Reg BI rule, the SEC also requires brokers and investment advisors to provide a “brief relationship summary” known as Form CRS, to their customers. This document must be provided to the customer before or at the time they enter into an investment advisory contract with the broker and/or adviser and is used to provide information about investment-related services and fees. 

How Can I Recover My Losses?

When brokers and brokerage firms fail to act in the best interest of their clients, they are violating securities laws. Investors that suffer investment losses as a result of this violation may hold their broker and brokerage firm responsible through FINRA arbitration.
