What Is Unsuitable Advice Concerning Options?
Options are investment contracts that give investors the right to buy or sell a security at a specified price before a certain date. Because options can be complex and carry significant risks, they are not appropriate for every investor. Unsuitable advice concerning options generally refers to allegations that a securities broker or financial advisor recommended an options strategy that did not fit the client's investment goals, financial situation, risk tolerance, or level of investment experience. Investors may suffer losses if they are placed into options strategies they do not fully understand or that expose them to risks they were not prepared to take.
