FINRA Rule 2111

Investors who rely on brokers for investment recommendations can pursue FINRA arbitration and potentially recover their losses.

Broker Negligence and FINRA Rule 3110

Brokers can behave in many negligent ways, ranging from unsuitable investment recommendations to unauthorized trading.

Negligent supervision violates FINRA Rule 3110, which requires firms to establish systems of supervision over their employees to identify and prevent violations of securities regulations.
