What is Unsuitability? 

“Unsuitability” is a term used to describe inappropriate recommendations and trades that are inconsistent with the customer’s goals and investment profile. 

FINRA Rule 2111 states that a broker must consider their investor’s profile before they recommend investments. A customer’s investment profile consists of a wide range of individual characteristics, including the customer’s: 

• Age 
• Financial situation and needs 
• Tax status 
• Investment objectives 
• Investment experience 
• Risk tolerance 

Brokers should take their investor’s risk tolerance and goals into account before making recommendations and take note if those preferences change over time. If an investor suffers financial losses as a result of an unsuitable recommendation, the broker’s firm may be liable for such losses. 

If you’ve lost money due to a financial advisor’s bad recommendations, do not hesitate to contact an experienced securities attorney as soon as possible. Kurta Law is a nationally recognized securities law firm with over 20 years of experience handling securities fraud cases.
