What is Unsuitable Investment Advice? (FINRA Rule 2111)

Under FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) suitability requirements, all registered financial professionals and their firms have a responsibility to recommend suitable financial offerings and trading strategies based on their customers’ financial interests. FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability) requires that brokerage firms and financial advisors have a “reasonable basis” for recommending investments or investment strategies to their clients.

According to the rule, a “reasonable basis” includes two components, the first being that a broker must perform “reasonable diligence” to understand the nature of the recommended security or investment strategy, along with the potential risks and rewards. The second is that the financial professional must determine whether the investment recommendation is suitable for at least some investors, based on the understanding of due diligence.

KlaymanToskes can help you determine if your investment loss is due to unsuitable investment advice. We offer free consultations and every case is taken on a contingency basis, meaning we do not collect attorney’s fees unless we are able to obtain a financial recovery for you.
