What is Unsuitability?

“Unsuitability” is a term used to describe inappropriate recommendations and trades that are inconsistent with the customer’s goals and investment profile.

Under FINRA Rule 2111, a customer’s investment profile includes investor characteristics, including:

• Age
• Financial situation and needs
• Tax status
• Investment objectives
• Investing experience
• Risk tolerance

If an investor suffers financial losses as a result of an unsuitable recommendation, the broker’s firm may be liable for such losses.
