Brokers are required to ensure the investments they recommend suit their investor’s needs, as required by FINRA Rule 2111.

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to evaluate whether an investment fits their investor’s financial goals. Brokers must examine the investor’s profile, which contains information about the following investor characteristics:

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

Your broker should understand your financial goals and adapt their investment strategy if your financial needs change. Brokers are also required to perform their due diligence to evaluate an investment and understand its potential for losses. If you believe your broker recommended unsuitable investments, you should contact a securities lawyer.
