What is Suitability?

“Suitability” is the term used to describe a standard for investments that financial professionals must follow. An investment is only considered “suitable” if it meets the suitability criteria outlined in FINRA Rule 2111. 

A broker must have exercised due diligence and have an adequate reason for believing that an investment will benefit the investor. Investors who rely on their brokers for recommendations may be able to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration if their broker recommended an unsuitable investment.
