Why Investors Should Care: Suitability, Disclosures, and Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI)
Investment professionals such as Peter Chernin must adhere to stringent standards of care, including suitability and best-interest obligations. Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) requires brokers to:
- Disclose all material facts, including conflicts and fees
- Act diligently and carefully in making investment recommendations
- Mitigate or eliminate conflicts of interest
- Maintain robust compliance procedures to protect investors
If a broker, such as Peter Chernin, fails to place your interests first or presents recommendations that are not in line with your investment profile, you may have grounds to recover losses with help from experienced advocates. Real estate securities and 1031 exchanges can carry significant risks and are not appropriate for all investors. Investors who were not fully apprised of fees, liquidity constraints, or risk factors may be entitled to compensation.
