Scott Sadar is the Subject of an iCap Private Placement Dispute

What is a Private Placement? 

Private placements are securities that do not trade on a public exchange, making them high-risk and illiquid. These types of investments are not suitable for most investors. 

What is an Unsuitable Investment?

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to evaluate whether an investment strategy fits their investor’s financial goals. Brokers must examine the investor’s profile, which contains the following investor characteristics:

• Age
• Risk tolerance
• Time horizon (i.e., how long the investor plans to hold the investment)
• Investing experience
• Tax status
• Financial goals

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