FINRA’s New Suitability Rule
The Securities and Exchange Commission
approved FINRA’s new Suitability Rule (FINRA Rule 2111) in November of 2010.

Notice 11-25
offers further guidance for Rule 2111, which has an implementation date of July 9, 2012.

interpretations of the former Suitability Rule (NASD Rule 2310), imposing three main suitability
obligations in its provisions as follows:
– Reasonable – basis

– Quantitative
suitability
