Jody Young Allegedly Recommended Risky Investments that Led to a Million-Dollar Loss
Jody Young (CRD #: 4068656), a broker formerly registered with Arkadios Capital, is involved in a million-dollar investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 12, 2022. For more details, keep reading.
On March 2, 2022, an investor alleged that Jody Young had violated FINRA Rule 2111 by recommending unsuitable alternative investments. These investments were allegedly overconcentrated. The investor is seeking to recover $1,000,000 in this pending dispute.
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 (like alternative investments).
- These requirements apply to the overall investment strategy as well as the investments themselves. For instance, an investment strategy might be unsuitable if the securities are over-concentrated in a particular stock or sector.
