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 have a duty to give advice and recommend investments that are in the best interest of their customers. They should take into account any risk tolerances or goals the person has expressed before making recommendations, as well as 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.
