Excessive Trading
FINRA Rule 2111, a.k.a. The Suitability Rule, requires brokers to tailor their investment recommendations to suit investors’ needs. Trades must be quantitatively suitable, meaning the number of trades must suit an investor’s needs. Each trade comes with a transaction fee, so too many transactions will result in excessive fees for the investor. Excessive trading is also known as “churning.”
High Standards of Commercial Honor
FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.
