Robert Wayne Pearce Is Committed to Recovering Your Investment Losses
Peter Vincent Mancuso is a registered representative whose BrokerCheck disclosure describes a customer’s suitability claim involving an equity listed investment and alleged damages. FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability) is frequently analyzed in these disputes because it requires a broker to have a reasonable basis to believe a recommendation or investment strategy is suitable for the customer based on the customer’s investment profile (e.g., objectives, risk tolerance, time horizon, liquidity needs, and financial situation). (finra.org)
FINRA Rule 2090 (Know Your Customer) is also commonly implicated when suitability is alleged, because the rule requires member firms to use reasonable diligence to know and retain the essential facts concerning each customer and the authority of persons acting on the customer’s behalf. In practice, when an arbitration claims a recommendation was unsuitable, Rule 2090 often becomes relevant to whether the firm and representative gathered, updated, and documented the “essential facts” that would drive suitability analysis for the recommendation at issue.
FINRA Rule 3110 (Supervision) can become relevant in customer disputes where the account activity, recommendation process, and approvals are questioned, because it requires firms to establish, maintain, and enforce written supervisory procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable securities laws and FINRA rules. Where a dispute is filed at the firm level and names individuals based on supervisory titles or Form BD listings, supervision analysis often focuses on the firm’s supervisory system (including exception reporting, review/approval processes, and escalation of red flags) surrounding the complained-of recommendations and account activity.
