FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 defines suitable investments as securities that fit an investor’s profile. When making recommendations, brokers must examine the characteristics contained in their client’s profile, including the following:

• Age
• Financial goals
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon (i.e., how long the investor plans to hold the investment)
• Investing experience
• Tax status

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