Investor Dispute

On May 31, 2022, an investor alleged that Jason Cobb liquidated for transfer mutual funds held in a Guided Solutions Fund account without the client’s consent.

The client additionally alleges that Jason Cobb failed to inform him that Edward Jones did not offer any investments that would match a guaranteed interest rate of 3%, that the firm did not offer any low-risk investments providing consistently high returns, and that the firm’s disclosure indicated Jason Cobb may have a conflict of interest.

This dispute remains pending.
