UPDATE 9/4/2020: According to FINRA’s August 2020 Disciplinary Actions: “J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (CRD #79, New York, New York) June 22, 2020 – An AWC was issued in which the firm was censured, fined $325,000 and ordered to pay $333,619.34, plus interest, in restitution to customers. Without admitting or denying the findings, the firm consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that it failed to establish and maintain a supervisory system reasonably designed to achieve compliance with its obligations under the applicable FINRA rules in connection with its sale of volatility-linked exchange traded products (volatility ETPs). The findings stated that although the firm was aware of the unique characteristics of volatility ETPs, it made these products available for solicited purchases without having a reasonable system in place to ensure that its brokers and customers understood the nature and characteristics of these products or the risks inherent in holding them for long-term periods. Certain of the firm’s customers, including those without high risk tolerances or aggressive investment objectives, purchased volatility ETPs on a solicited basis, held them for lengthy periods of time and sustained losses. The firm did not provide any training or guidance to its brokers or supervisors specifically regarding volatility ETPs, nor did it identify the risks associated with volatility ETPs in its WSPs. In addition, the firm did not conduct reasonable post-approval review of the products’ performance and risk profile or take other reasonable steps to supervise solicited sales of the products to customers.

Due Diligence Requirement
FINRA requires broker-dealers to conduct due diligence on investments and to conduct a suitability analysis when recommending securities to a customer that takes into account the customer’s knowledge and experience. FINRA Rule 2111(a) states that “a member or an associated person must have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer, based on the information obtained through the reasonable diligence of the member or associated person to ascertain the customer’s investment profile. A customer’s investment profile includes, but is not limited to, the customer’s age, other investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and any other information the customer may disclose to the member or associated person in connection with such recommendation.”
Rule 2111 is composed of three main obligations: reasonable-basis suitability, customer-specific suitability, and quantitative suitability. Broker-Dealers that fail to conduct adequate due diligence on investments they recommend or that make unsuitable recommendations can be held responsible for the customer’s losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
