Investor Alleges Thomas Renzi Made Unsuitable Investment Recommendations

Thomas Renzi (CRD #: 1923679), a broker registered with RBC Capital Markets, allegedly gave unsuitable investment recommendations, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 23, 2022. Read on to learn more about Thomas Renzi’s conduct as a broker.

Investor Dispute

A pending dispute filed on February 23, 2022, alleges that Thomas Renzi made unsuitable investment recommendations.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 defines suitable investments as those which adequately match an investor’s profile. Brokers must consider the investor characteristics described in their client’s profile, such as their financial goals, age, and risk tolerance when making their recommendations.

  • High-risk investments, which are more likely to lose money, are a common type of unsuitable investment.
  • Illiquid investments, intended to be held for an extended period of time, can also be unsuitable because they can incur high fees for investors who try to sell them.
  • Excessive trading violates the requirement for quantitative suitability by generating fees and commissions that cut into investors’ returns.

Investors may be able to recover losses caused by unsuitable investment recommendations by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
