The allegation against Michael Corrada is a serious matter in the financial industry. It centers around the concept of suitability, a fundamental principle in investment advising. According to FINRA Rule 2111, brokers are obligated to have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy is suitable for the customer. This is based on the customer’s investment profile, which includes factors like age, financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives.
In the case of Corrada, the allegation suggests that he recommended and sold an investment that was not suitable for the client. This is a violation of the FINRA Rule 2111 and could result in severe consequences for the broker and the firm he is associated with.
