Investor Dispute

On February 16, 2023, an investor filed a dispute alleging that Frank AuYeung engaged in excessive trading in his accounts from 2013-2023. This dispute is currently pending.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires that brokers tailor their investment recommendations to an investor’s profile. These profiles contain information such as investors’ age, risk tolerance, and tax status.

Trading activity can also be quantitatively unsuitable, meaning that the broker executed an excessive number of trades. This racks up trading fees and commissions that can severely reduce the client’s returns.

Investors who rely on brokers for investment recommendations can potentially recover their losses by pursuing FINRA arbitration.
