Employment Separation

Avery Hall’s FINRA BrokerCheck Report reflects one employment separation disclosure. A summary of the separation is below:

On December 12, 2025, Avery Hall was discharged from LPL Financial LLC following allegations that he did not follow firm policy with respect to minimum investment amounts for self-directed accounts and did not enter customer orders under self-directed account documentation.

Rule summary #1: FINRA Rule 4511 (General Requirements)

FINRA Rule 4511 requires firms to make and preserve required books and records. Accurate account documentation and order-entry records can help investors and regulators evaluate whether a firm is meeting its compliance obligations.

Rule summary #2: FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 is a broad, principles-based rule requiring brokers and firms to observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. FINRA frequently cites Rule 2010 in matters involving conduct that undermines investor protection and market integrity.

Why this Matters to Investors (Regulation Best Interest)

Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI) is a U.S. securities regulation designed to strengthen the standard of conduct that broker-dealers owe to retail investors when making recommendations about securities transactions or investment strategies. Adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and effective as of June 30, 2020, Reg BI aims to enhance investor protection while preserving investor access to brokerage products and services.

Reg BI requires broker-dealers and financial advisors to act in the best interest of the retail customer at the time a recommendation is made, and not to place their own financial or other interests ahead of the customer’s. This represents a higher standard than the historical “suitability” requirement, which only required that recommendations be suitable, not necessarily optimal or conflict-free.

Reg BI is built around four key obligations:

1. Disclosure Obligation – Broker-dealers must disclose material facts about the relationship and recommendations, including fees, scope of services, and conflicts of interest.
2. Care Obligation – Recommendations must be made with reasonable diligence, care, and skill, considering costs, risks, and alternatives.
3. Conflict of Interest Obligation – Firms must identify, disclose, and mitigate or eliminate conflicts, particularly those that create incentives to favor one product over another.
4. Compliance Obligation – Firms must establish policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance with Reg BI as a whole.

Importantly, Reg BI applies at the recommendation level, not as a continuous duty like the fiduciary standard applicable to registered investment advisers. Still, it significantly narrows the gap by emphasizing cost considerations, conflict management, and investor-focused decision-making.

Overall, Regulation Best Interest seeks to promote transparency, improve the quality of investment recommendations, and reinforce trust between retail investors and broker-dealers in the U.S. securities markets.
