Unsuitable Recommendations
Securities brokers, like Clarence McGill, have a duty to their customers to only recommend securities that are suitable for them. Some investments are unsuitable for investors based on factors like the customer’s investment objectives, financial situation, and liquidity needs. It is the job of the securities broker to determine their customers’ suitability needs by analyzing these factors. Securities brokers are not allowed to excuse themselves by claiming they were unaware of that an investment would be unsuitable for a particular customer.
