Investor Allegations

On August 5, 2021, an investor filed a dispute against Christina Orta alleging unsuitability, violations of law, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of rules, negligence, misrepresentation, and breach of contract. The investor is requesting a settlement of $175,000.00. The dispute is still pending. 

Christina Orta’s alleged conduct is unethical and violates FINRA Rule 2010, which states the brokers must uphold the highest standards of commercial honor. Unsuitable investment recommendations also violate FINRA Rule 2111.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 defines “suitable” investments as securities that fit an investor’s profile. An investor’s profile includes information about their risk tolerance, financial goals, and age. 

• Investments can be unsuitable because they are high risk and likely to lose money.
• Securities may also be unsuitable because they are illiquid, meaning that they are intended to be held for an extended time, and investors may have to pay high fees to cash out.
• Securities can be quantitatively unsuitable, which means that brokers executed an excessive number of trades.
• These requirements apply to the overall investment strategy as well as the investments themselves. For instance, an investment strategy might be unsuitable if the securities are over-concentrated in a particular stock or sector.

Brokers are required to have a reasonable basis for recommending an investment according to FINRA Rule 2111. Investors who rely on their brokers for recommendations may be able to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration.
