We Help Investors Recover Investment Losses

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) strictly prohibits financial advisers from “selling away” or selling securities and investments to clients that are not offered by the brokerage firm with which they are employed. For example, it is illegal and a violation of industry rules for a financial adviser to recommend or even suggest that a client invest in the financial adviser’s own business or a business operated by his or her friends or family. It is not necessary that the financial adviser earn any compensation for recommending an outside investment.

The purpose behind this prohibition is to ensure that a financial adviser only offers to sell securities that have been vetted by his or her employer brokerage firm through a rigorous due diligence process. Most brokerage firms have an approved list of investments, products, and research that can be provided or made available to clients. Any deviation by the financial adviser from the approved product list may constitute selling away.
