Jason Wagoner Involved in a $25 Million Investor Dispute

Jason Wagoner (CRD #: 2449885), a broker registered with Fidelity Distributors Company, is facing a $25 million investor dispute. This is according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on November 2, 2023. Investors who have concerns about his alleged conduct should keep reading. 

According to allegations filed on August 21, 2023, Jason Wagoner recommended unsuitable fixed-income mutual funds. The mutual funds were allegedly unsuitable because they were subject to principal loss. The institutional investor, which is an SEC-registered company, is seeking $25 million. 

What is an Unsuitable Investment?

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to evaluate whether an investment strategy fits their investor’s financial goals. Brokers must examine the investor’s profile, which contains the following investor characteristics:

• Risk tolerance
• Liquidity needs
• Tax status
• Financial goals

Institutional investors who rely on brokers for recommendations may be able to recover losses from unsuitable investment recommendations by pursuing FINRA arbitration.

FINRA Rule 2010

FINRA Rule 2010 holds brokers to high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. Violations of FINRA Rule 2111 also violate this rule.
