When Options Recommendations May Be Unsuitable

An investment recommendation may be unsuitable if it does not reasonably fit a client's investment goals, financial circumstances, risk tolerance, investing experience, or other needs. Options can involve substantial risk, and the strategies used to trade them may also be complex. Whether a broker's options recommendation is suitable generally depends on how the strategy's risks and complexity fit that particular client's investment profile.
