FINRA Investigates Christopher Polinaire Concerning Alleged Excessive Trading

FINRA Investigation

On June 8, 2022, FINRA entered a preliminary determination recommending that Christopher Polinaire face disciplinary action for allegedly executing excessive and unsuitable trades in investors’ accounts, violating FINRA Rules 2111 and 2010.

FINRA Rules 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to tailor their recommendations of securities to fit investors’ profiles. These include information about an investor’s risk tolerance, tax status, and investment goals.

Excessive trading, also called churning, violates the requirement for quantitative suitability. In other words, the overall number of trades executed in an account must also be suitable for an investor’s goals.

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of professional honor and ethical conduct.

Civil Lien

On August 14, 2015, Christopher Polinaire faced a civil lien of $10,581.76.
