UPDATE 5/28/2020: According to the Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent that Stifel Nicolaus & Company entered into with FINRA on May 27, 2020, FINRA has ordered the firm to pay close to $1.9 million in restitution to about 1,700 customers for failing to supervise recommendations by its associated persons to sell and roll over Unit Investment Trusts (“UIT”) prior to its maturity date and to use the sale proceeds to purchase new UITs, which caused its customers to incur greater sales charges than if the customer had half the UIT until maturity. FINRA also fined the firm $1.75 million for purportedly providing inaccurate information to customers related to rollover costs incurred, and for related supervisory violations. Allegedly, during the relevant period, the firm sent approximately 600 switch letters to customers that contained inaccurate or missing information about the costs that they incurred as a result of early rollovers of the UITs, in violation of FINRA Rule 2010.

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.
