Broker Obligations and Investor Safeguards
Under securities laws, brokers are obligated to act in clients’ best interests and provide only suitable investment recommendations. The SEC’s “Regulation Best Interest” enhances the broker-dealer standard of conduct beyond existing suitability obligations, requiring them to act in the best interest of retail customers when making securities transaction or investment strategy recommendations.
Brokers, including Shane DeSherlia, must obtain and evaluate sufficient information about retail investors to ensure account recommendations align with their best interests. Recommendations cannot be based on inaccurate or incomplete information, and must consider costs like fees, commissions, transaction costs, taxes, and indirect expenses.
Brokers must publicly disclose reportable events on their BrokerCheck reports, including complaints, liens, judgments, investigations, terminations, and criminal matters. FINRA acknowledges that past events are usually one of the best indicators for investors to use to predict future regulatory issues and customer complaints.
