The Allegations

What Does This Mean?

Securities brokers have an obligation to their customers to always act in their best financial interests. The main part of that means recommending investments that they (the investors) are actually suited for. When an investor is placed into an investment that they are not financially suited for, they can experience serious financial loss. Securities brokers, like Omar Henry, can determine if an investment is suitable for their customer by analyzing multiple present factors. These factors include the customer's age, investment objectives, financial situation, risk tolerance, and liquidity needs. Brokers are expected to determine suitability by looking at these factors. They are not allowed to excuse themselves when things go awry by claiming they were unaware an investment was unsuitable. Brokers either know, or should know, if an investment will be financially harmful to their customer.
