What Are Unsuitable Direct Investments Sold Away From A Broker/Dealer?

Unsuitable direct investments sold away from a broker/dealer generally involve a securities broker or financial advisor recommending high-risk or illiquid direct investments that do not match a client’s investment objectives, financial situation, or risk tolerance while also presenting those investments outside the brokerage firm’s supervision.
