1 Employment Separation After Allegations
November 3, 2021 – An AWC was issued in which Kincheloe was barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities. Without admitting or denying the findings, Kincheloe consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings that he refused to provide on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA. The findings stated that this matter originated from a Form U5 filed by Kincheloe’s member firm terminating his registration after allegations that he involved an unregistered person in activities that required securities registration. Although Kincheloe initially cooperated with FINRA’s investigation, he ceased doing so. (FINRA Case #2019064729703)

Due Diligence Requirement
FINRA requires broker’s to conduct due diligence on investments and to conduct a suitability analysis when recommending securities to a customer that takes into account the customer’s knowledge and experience. FINRA Rule 2111(a) states that “a member or an associated person must have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy involving a security or securities is suitable for the customer, based on the information obtained through the reasonable diligence of the member or associated person to ascertain the customer’s investment profile. A customer’s investment profile includes, but is not limited to, the customer’s age, other investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and any other information the customer may disclose to the member or associated person in connection with such recommendation.”
Rule 2111 is composed of three main obligations: reasonable-basis suitability, customer-specific suitability, and quantitative suitability. Brokers and the brokerage firms they work for that fail to conduct adequate due diligence on investments they recommend or that make unsuitable recommendations can be held responsible for the customer’s losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
