Investors Recovery with FINRA Arbitration
For investors who have suffered losses due to unsuitable investment recommendations or unauthorized trading, FINRA arbitration provides a viable means of recovery. Here’s how:
- Fast and Efficient: Compared to court proceedings, FINRA arbitration is generally faster and more efficient. The process is streamlined, and decisions are typically rendered within 14 months of filing.
- Cost-Effective: Arbitration can be a more cost-effective method of dispute resolution, as it avoids the high costs associated with traditional litigation.
- Final and Binding: Decisions made in FINRA arbitration are final and binding, with limited grounds for appeal. This means that once a decision is made, it is enforceable by the courts.
Investors who believe they have been wronged by their brokers or financial advisors should consider seeking legal advice to explore their options for recovery through FINRA arbitration.
