Securities brokers like Eugene Freund have an obligation to their customers to only recommend securities that they are financially suited for. Specific types of investments are only suitable for specific types of investors. Brokers can determine if an investment is suitable by looking at factors like the customer's investment objectives, financial situation, age, liquidity needs, and risk tolerance. This is one of the most important aspects of a broker's job due to how detrimental it is to investors when they are placed in investments that are unsuitable for them.
