Matthew Fiori is Facing a Suitability Dispute

Matthew Fiori (CRD #: 6245653), a broker registered with Equitable Advisors, is the subject of an investor dispute. This is according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on January 5, 2023. Keep reading if you have questions concerning his alleged conduct as a broker. 

On October 30, 2023, an investor’s son alleged Matthew Fiori sold his father an unsuitable annuity in 2016. 

Annuities can be unsuitable for a number of reasons, including lack of liquidity and high fees. 

What is an Unsuitable Investment?

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

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

Investors who rely on brokers for recommendations may be able to recover losses from unsuitable investment recommendations by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
