Dean Studer Allegedly Failed to Follow Trustee’s Instructions

Investor Dispute

On June 14, 2022, a trustee alleged that Dean Studer failed to follow instructions to liquidate an Advisory Solutions account in December 2021. The trustee also had concerns involving the processing of the account after the death of the trustor. This dispute was denied by the firm.

However, investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an outside review, and investors may be able to recover their losses by pursuing FINRA arbitration after a denial.

FINRA Rule 2010

Failure to follow an investor’s instructions violates FINRA Rule 2010, which holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.
