Robert Wayne Pearce Is Committed to Recovering Your Investment Losses
FINRA Rule 2111, the suitability rule, requires a broker to have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended investment or investment strategy is suitable for a customer based on the customer’s investment profile. In the pending complaints involving Staverosky, the suitability allegations concern real estate securities, which can involve liquidity limitations, valuation risks, concentration issues, and investor-specific risk considerations. If a broker recommended a real estate security without properly matching the product to the investor’s objectives, risk tolerance, financial circumstances, and need for liquidity, that conduct may raise suitability concerns.
FINRA Rule 2090, the know-your-customer rule, requires brokers to use reasonable diligence to learn essential facts about a customer. This rule is relevant because Staverosky’s BrokerCheck response specifically states that recommendations were based on the client’s stated investment objectives, risk tolerance, and financial profile. In disputes involving unsuitable real estate securities, customer records, risk disclosures, account documents, and communications can become important evidence in determining whether the broker actually knew and properly considered the investor’s financial situation before recommending the investment.
FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits brokers from using manipulative, deceptive, or fraudulent devices in connection with the purchase or sale of securities. This rule is relevant to the pending allegations of misrepresentations and omissions. In the real estate securities context, investors may claim that they were not fully informed about risk, liquidity, fees, due diligence concerns, conflicts, or the true nature of the investment. Although Staverosky denies wrongdoing and the claims remain pending, allegations involving omitted or inaccurate material information can implicate anti-fraud principles under FINRA rules and federal securities law.
