Excessive Trading Allegations
On December 1, 2023, an investor alleged that Chad Lombardi executed an excessive number of trades. The dispute was denied, but investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an external review. Investors may be able to recover their losses after a denial by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
What is Excessive Trading?
FINRA Rule 2111, a.k.a. The Suitability Rule, requires brokers to tailor their investment recommendations to suit investors’ needs. Trades must be quantitatively suitable, meaning the number of trades must suit an investor’s needs. Each trade comes with a transaction fee, so too many transactions will result in excessive fees for the investor. Excessive trading is also known as “churning.”
High Standards of Commercial Honor
FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Violations of Finra Rule 2111 also violate this rule.
