What is FINRA arbitration?
FINRA arbitration is a forum for resolving disputes between investors and brokerage firms or registered representatives. It is typically faster and less expensive than court litigation. Most investor-broker disputes are resolved through this process due to arbitration clauses in account agreements. An arbitration panel hears evidence from both sides and issues a binding decision.
What does “unsuitable investment” mean?
An unsuitable investment is one that does not align with an investor’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, financial situation, or time horizon. Brokers have a duty to recommend only investments that are suitable for their clients based on these factors. Recommendations that expose clients to excessive risk or are inappropriate for their circumstances may constitute unsuitable investments under securities regulations.
How do I look up a broker on BrokerCheck?
You can look up any registered broker or brokerage firm on FINRA’s BrokerCheck website at brokercheck.finra.org. Simply enter the broker’s name or CRD number to access their professional background, employment history, licenses, and any customer complaints or regulatory actions. This is a free public resource that all investors should use before working with a financial professional.
What should I do if I suspect broker misconduct?
If you suspect broker misconduct, take these steps: (1) Document all account statements, trade confirmations, and communications with your broker; (2) File a complaint with FINRA and your state securities regulator; (3) Consult with a securities attorney who handles investor claims. Do not delay, as arbitration claims must generally be filed within six years. Contact Patil Law, P.C. at 800-950-6553 for a free consultation.
