Unsuitable Investments
Definition:
When making investment recommendations to an investor, a stock broker must have the needs and investment objectives of the investor as their best interest. A broker is responsible for recommending investments that are suitable. An investment could be unsuitable if an investor lacks the financial ability to handle any risks that may be associated with an investment, in case the investment was not in line with the goals of the investor.
Consequences of Unsuitable Investments:
Brokers are responsible for gathering necessary information and understanding the risk factors before handing over the investment information over the investor. Tax and other appropriate considerations should be made beforehand. Unsuitable investments occur when brokers breach those fiduciary duties and make unsuitable recommendations for an investor.What a Lawyer can do for you:
