Unsuitable Investment Recommendations: What Can Investors Do?

FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) is the self-regulatory body responsible for regulating all registered brokers and brokerage firms. In accordance with 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.

Certain factors about each investor must be taken into consideration by financial professionals 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 and may include the following:

  • Age 
  • Employment Status
  • Tax Status
  • Financial situation/needs
  • Investment objectives
  • Investment Experience 
  • Risk tolerance
  • Other investments/securities the investor may be holding 

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. We work on a contingency basis, meaning we do not collect a fee unless we are able to obtain an investment recovery for you.
