According to FINRA, suitability obligations are critical to ensuring investor protection and promoting fair dealings with clients and ethical sales practices. FINRA Rule 2111 governs general suitability obligations. FINRA Rule 2111 requires that a firm or associated person have a reasonable basis to believe a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving security or securities is suitable for the client. This is based on the information obtained through reasonable diligence of the firm or associated person to determine the client’s investment profile. The rule states that the client’s investment profile “includes, but is not limited to, the customer’s age, other investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs and risk tolerance,” among other information. According to FINRA, the lack of such an understanding itself violates the suitability rule.
