Investor Alleges Bethany Simpson Executed Unauthorized Equity Trades

Bethany Simpson (CRD #: 6586514), a broker registered with Edward Jones, allegedly executed unauthorized trades, according to her BrokerCheck record, accessed on November 21, 2022. If you have questions about her conduct as a broker, keep reading.

Investor Dispute

On August 10, 2022, an investor alleged that Bethany Simpson executed unauthorized equity trades and failed to follow instructions to sell equities. This dispute was denied by the firm.

Investors should be aware, however, that firms don’t need to permit an external review before denying disputes. Investors can still pursue FINRA arbitration and potentially recover their losses after a denial.

FINRA Rule 3260

Unauthorized trading violates FINRA Rule 3260, which limits brokers to exercising their trading discretion in pre-approved discretionary accounts.

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Violations of FINRA Rule 3260 automatically violate FINRA Rule 2010.
