What Is Unsuitable Trading In Mutual Funds And CDs?

Unsuitable trading occurs when a securities broker or financial advisor recommends investments that do not match a client’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, or needs. In the context of mutual funds and CDs, suitability concerns can arise if an investor is placed into products that are too risky, too conservative, excessively costly, or otherwise inconsistent with the investor’s goals.
