FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to evaluate whether an investment fits their investor’s financial goals. Brokers must take into account an investor’s profile, which contains information about their age, tax status, and other investments.

Investment strategies are also subject to this rule. Overconcentration of a client’s portfolio in a single sector can expose an investor to an unsuitable degree of risk, for example.

Investors who rely on their broker for recommendations may be able to recover their losses by seeking out FINRA arbitration.

FINRA Rule 2020

FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits the use of manipulative, deceptive, or otherwise fraudulent tactics to influence investors’ decisions. Misrepresenting an investment’s risks, potential returns, or other features violates this rule.
