FINRA Rule 2020

FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits the use of deception, manipulation, and other unethical means of influencing investors’ decisions. Misrepresenting an investment’s features, limitations, or requirements violates this rule.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires that brokers tailor their investment recommendations to an investor’s profile, which describes the following characteristics: 

  • Age
  • Financial goals

  • Time horizon (i.e., how long the investor plans to hold the investment)
