FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to recommend securities that sufficiently suit an investor’s financial goals. Brokers must consult the information contained in an investor’s profile, such as their age, risk tolerance, and other investments when making recommendations.

Investors who rely on brokers for investment recommendations may be able to recover their funds by seeking out FINRA arbitration.

What are structured products?

Structured products are a kind of complex investment consisting of a bond and a derivative component. Structured notes pay out depending on the performance of this derivative component—which may be swaps, futures, or options.

The complexity of structured products means it is easy for investors to be misled about how they work or what returns investors should expect.
