Investor Dispute

On January 27, 2023, an investor alleged that Virginia Bazzino made poor recommendations resulting in unrealized losses in a specific Bed Bath & Beyond bond (CUSIP #:075896 AB6). The client claims these allegations took place between June 2022 and the date of dispute filing.

The client seeks $100,000 in damages in this pending dispute.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to take investors’ profiles into account when recommending investments. These profiles contain information about investors’ risk tolerance, tax status, and financial goals.

This rule also applies to investment strategies. For instance, overconcentration in a particular stock or sector can expose investors to an unsuitable degree of risk.

Investors who feel their losses were caused by unsuitable investment recommendations may be able to recover their funds by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
