What is a solicitation transaction?

There are far-reaching implications for suitability claims if you don't understand the terms.When a broker submits an order ticket to buy or sell a stock, the ticket must be marked as either "solicited" or "uncited." Often, trades that are not marked are assumed to be solicited.What is the difference between a solicitation and an offer?Unsolicited trades are the client's idea, while solicited trades have to do with the broker.If you later file a claim against your broker that they recommended investments that were not suitable given your investment objectives and risk tolerance, the broker-dealer could argue that those trades were your idea.

How can you do this?The order ticketing system is not accessible to investors.Trade confirmations are given to investors after a trade has been executed.You should check for any trades that are not yours.Make sure the trades were your idea.

Mismarking is a problem within the securities industry.The "Abuse of Authority" section is in the Report on FINRA Examination Findings.

When customers did not initiate the transactions and were unaware of the trading occurring in their accounts, some registered representatives mismarked order tickets to obscure unauthorized discretionary trading.In other instances, registered representatives mismarked order tickets and placed trades in customer accounts that did not comply with the securities.

Rule 2010 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority requires registered representatives to conduct themselves with high standards of commercial honor.

According to Brokerage Fraud: What Wall Street Doesn't Want You to Know, if a broker is accused of mismarking an order ticket, the scale is tipped in favor of the industry.If you have questions about investments or transactions, please contact the securities attorneys of Fitapelli Kurta.Email info@fkesq.com if you want to call.
