FINRA Rule 2020

FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits the use of manipulative, deceptive, or otherwise fraudulent tactics to influence investors’ decisions. Misrepresenting an investment’s risks, requirements, or other features violates this rule.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to take into account investors’ financial goals when recommending investments. Brokers must examine the information described in an investor’s profile, such as their age, tax status, and risk tolerance.

Investors who rely on brokers for investment recommendations can potentially recover their losses by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
