Jack Elvestrom Allegedly Recommended Unsuitable Investments

Jack Elvestrom (CRD #: 1426319), a broker registered with Morgan Stanley, faced allegations that he recommended unsuitable investments. This is according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 16, 2022.

On February 28, 2022, an investor alleged that Jack Elvestrom allegedly did not follow his instructions to invest conservatively. The investor sought $400,000 but the dispute was denied. Investors should know that firms can deny disputes without any external review.

FINRA Rule 2111 defines suitable investments as securities that fit an investor’s profile. An investor’s profile includes information about their risk tolerance, financial goals, and age. Investors who rely on their brokers for recommendations may be able to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration.

• Investments can be unsuitable because they are high risk and likely to lose money.
• Securities may also be unsuitable because they are illiquid, meaning that they are intended to be held for an extended time, and investors may have to pay high fees to cash out.
