Investor Dispute

In a dispute filed on November 14, 2022, an investor alleged that Harold Reinstein made unsuitable investment recommendations in March 2022. This dispute was denied by the firm.

Investors should be aware, however, that firms can deny disputes without an outside review. Investors can still pursue FINRA arbitration after a denial and may be able to recover their funds.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to recommend securities that sufficiently suit an investor’s financial goals. Brokers must take into account an investor’s age, risk tolerance, tax status, and other characteristics described in their profile.

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

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Violations of many other rules may also violate FINRA Rule 2010.
