Investors Recovery Through FINRA Arbitration
Investors who have suffered losses due to the misconduct of their brokers or investment advisors have a chance of recovering their losses through the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. This process involves the resolution of disputes between investors and their brokers or investment advisors outside the court system. It is usually faster and less expensive than litigation.
