Daniel Mann Embroiled in Investor Dispute Following Overconcentration Allegations

Daniel Mann (CRD #:4592568), a broker and investment advisor registered with Independent Financial Group, is involved in an investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed April 12, 2022. 

Investor Allegations

On January 31, 2022, Daniel Mann was named in an investor dispute alleging a breach of fiduciary duty and overconcentration in high-risk securities. The investor is seeking $334,000ーthe case is still pending.

Overconcentration is a Violation of FINRA Rule 2111

Overconcentration happens when a broker concentrates an investor’s portfolio in a single security or sector, exposing the portfolio to an unsuitable level of risk and potentially resulting in severe losses.

Suitable investments, as defined by FINRA Rule 2111, are securities that match an investor’s profile. A broker must have conducted due diligence and have reasonable grounds to believe that an investment is also suitable or beneficial to the investor.

An investment strategy might be unsuitable if the securities are over-concentrated in a particular stock or sector.
