What is Churning?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Churning is excessive trading by a broker in a client’s account largely to generate commissions. Churning claims arise out of the inherent conflict of interest involved when a financial advisor is compensated by commissions earned in buying and selling securities on behalf of a client.

What’s the problem with churning?

Churning is illegal and unethical.  It can violate SEC Rule 15c1-7 and other securities laws.

FINRA also has rules that include interpretative material on churning, or what FINRA calls “quantitative suitability.”

Proving a Churning Claim

In order to prove a Churning Claim you need to be able to prove the following:

  1. Did the client give the broker control of the account?
  2. Is the broker excessively trading the account?
  3. Is the broker excessively trading the account in order to gain commissions?
