Illinois Division of Financial Institutions  

Illinois law defines securities as stocks, bonds, promissory notes and other evidences of indebtedness; shares in mutual funds; stock options; limited partnership interests; interests in oil and gas, mining, or real estate ventures or leases; certificates of deposit; some commodity contracts; and “investment contracts” which could refer to certain kinds of unusual investment arrangements in which the investor is to rely on the effort of others for some essential managerial activities. 

The mission of the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Division of Financial Institutions (DFI), is to protect and educate the public and promote confidence in the regulated industries through administration of statutory responsibilities in an efficient, professional, responsive, and innovative manner. 

FINRA Arbitration and Mediation to Recover Investment Fraud Losses 

State regulators are often limited in how much they can help in recovery of investment losses. Broker-dealers, firms which market investments to the public, are also regulated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC).  

FINRA Dispute Resolution is an arbitration venue for investors across the country with claims against their brokerage firm or financial professional. It provides investors with an opportunity to attempt to recoup their investment losses without filing such claims in court.  

Brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment prior to making recommendations to an individual investor. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance. 

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration
