Investor Dispute

On July 1, 2022, an investor alleged that John Wilson invested money into an annuity without the client’s knowledge or permission. This dispute was denied by the firm.

Investors should be aware, however, that firms can deny disputes without an outside review, and investors can still seek out FINRA arbitration following a denial.

FINRA Rule 3260

FINRA Rule 3260 restricts brokers from conducting discretionary trading outside of pre-approved discretionary accounts. The investor and firm must both provide authorization for an account before discretionary trading can occur.
