Greg Edwards (CRD #: 1610724), a broker registered with Ameritas Investment Company, is facing an investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on July 31, 2023. Investors may also have engaged his services through Lawless, Edwards & Warren.

On May 8, 2023, an investor alleged that Greg Edwards has offered little portfolio guidance or proactive communication for the past 5 years. The dispute was denied by the firm, but investors should know that firms can deny disputes without any external review. Following a denial, investors may still be able to recover their funds via FINRA arbitration.

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Failure to provide guidance may violate FINRA Rule 2010.
