FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 defines suitable investments as those that adequately match an investor’s profile. Brokers must take into account the characteristics described in their client’s profile, such as their tax status, risk tolerance, and investment goals.

This rule also applies to investment strategies and trading decisions, making it especially important for investors who give brokers discretionary power in their accounts.

Investors who have lost money due to unsuitable investment recommendations or other violations of suitability may be able to recoup their losses through FINRA arbitration.
