Suitability Guidelines

Definition

Suitability Guidelines are regulatory or internal policies designed to ensure that financial products, including digital assets, are appropriate for a given investor’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. These guidelines require financial service providers to assess a client’s profile before recommending or selling certain assets. Their purpose is to protect investors from acquiring products that are too complex or risky for their circumstances. Adherence helps prevent consumer harm and promotes responsible market conduct.
