Investor Disputes

In a dispute filed on April 29, 2022, an investor alleged that Brian Jackson recommended she invest in certain high-risk securities on May 4, 2021. This dispute was denied by the firm.

Investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an outside review. However, investors may still be able to recoup their losses by seeking out FINRA arbitration after a denial.

On July 21, 2020, an investor alleged Brian Jackson’s involvement in an unspecified violation of suitability. The client seeks $101,000 damages in this pending dispute.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to use the information in investors’ profiles to tailor their investment recommendations. These profiles contain information such as investors’ risk tolerance, tax status, and other investments.

Brokers must also take this information into account when recommending investment strategies or engaging in discretionary trading. An excessive number of trades violates the requirement for quantitative suitability and can generate fees that significantly cut into investors’ returns.

Investors who believe their losses are the result of unsuitable investment recommendations may be able to recover their funds by seeking out FINRA arbitration.
