Investor Dispute

On April 10, 2023, multiple investors filed a dispute alleging that Ronald Eiger made unsuitable recommendations of real estate investment trusts (REITs). They seek $50,000 in damages in this pending dispute.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to take into account investors’ financial goals when recommending investments. Brokers must examine the information contained in an investor’s profile, such as their tax status, age, and other investments.

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

What are REITs?

Real estate investment trusts (REITs) allow investors to pool their funds together in a portfolio of real estate and earn returns without managing the properties themselves. However, the lack of liquidity associated with REITs may make them unsuitable for some investors.
