Did Ayad Saad Misrepresent a Variable Annuity?

Ayad Saad (CRD #: 1912377), a broker and investment advisor registered with Morgan Stanley, faced an investor dispute alleging he misrepresented a variable annuity in 2021, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on March 1, 2022.  The case was denied. Investors should know that they can still pursue FINRA arbitration and recover their losses following a denial.

Variable annuities are complex investments that are often too risky to fit investors’ needs. FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits brokerage firms and stockbrokers from making material misrepresentations or inducing individuals into buying investments with false statements about their potential benefits. This unethical conduct also violates FINRA Rule 2010, which states that brokers must uphold high standards of commercial honor. 

Losses that can be attributed to a stockbroker’s material misrepresentations of facts may result in a viable securities arbitration claim for damages.
