Suitability

According to the NASD, a broker can only recommend "a purchase or sale of a security after determining that a recommendation is suitable for that customer".

In making an investment recommendation to a client, a broker must make a recommendation that is consistent with the customer's risk tolerance, needs and investment objectives. A broker has a duty to 'know his client' and only recommend investments or strategies that are suitable for that client.

The broker must also have a reasonable basis for making his recommendation.

An investor's amount of market experience, as well as his present financial condition, are important facts to be assessed prior to pursuing a claim.
