FINRA Rule 2111

Brokers must consider the factors listed below when recommending investments to investors:

• The investor’s current financial state and tax status 
• The investor’s financial goals  
• The investor’s risk tolerance 

According to FINRA Rule 2111, brokers may be liable for investor unsuitability claims if they fail to take the factors listed above into account.

To prove an unsuitability claim, you must establish that: 

• A transaction took place between yourself and the broker 
• You sustained damages (lost money) 
• The broker was aware of your financial situation
