Understanding Unsuitable Advice About Over-the-Counter Equities
Unsuitable advice about over-the-counter equities happens when a broker recommends investments that do not align with the investor’s goals, risk tolerance, or financial profile. These equities, which trade outside of standard exchanges, tend to be riskier and less liquid, meaning they may be difficult to sell and come with less transparency. Financial advisors have a duty to ensure that any investment recommendation is appropriate for a customer’s unique situation. If a broker recommends these high-risk equities without proper due diligence or concern for the investor’s needs, the investor may face financial harm and may have a valid claim for recovery.
