FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires that brokers tailor their investment recommendations to an investor’s profile, which describes their risk tolerance, tax status, and other characteristics.

Investment strategies must also serve investors’ goals. Overconcentration in a particular sector or stock is often an unsuitable investment strategy, due to the high degree of risk.

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

FINRA Rule 3110

Failure to supervise violates FINRA Rule 3110, which requires that firms establish supervisory systems to ensure their compliance with securities regulations. This includes appointing supervisors and providing them with Written Supervisory Procedures (WSPs).

What is broker negligence?

Brokers may act in many negligent ways. Common examples include misrepresentations or omissions of fact, unsuitable investment recommendations, and excessive or unauthorized trading.

Investors who feel their losses are the result of broker negligence may be able to recover their funds through FINRA arbitration.
