Jonathan Turner Suspended by FINRA

Jonathan Turner (CRD #: 4853469) has been suspended by FINRA, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 2, 2022. Read on if you want to know more about Jonathan Turner’s conduct as a broker.

Alleged Unauthorized Private Securities Transactions

An Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (AWC) agreement filed on March 24, 2022, alleges Jonathan Turner violated FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010 by participating in private securities transactions without notifying his firm.

According to this filing, Jonathan Turner was hired as Chief Investment Officer at an unspecified firm in September 2019 while also employed by Ameriprise Financial Services, where he was employed as a broker. During this time, he allegedly recommended that two clients invest at the unspecified firm, including facilitating the liquidation of one client’s assets held by Ameriprise. Each client allegedly invested $100,000. 

The AWC alleges that Jonathan Turner failed to notify Ameriprise of these transactions and incorrectly claimed that he had not participated in private securities transactions on his annual compliance attestation.

FINRA Rules 3280 and 2010

FINRA Rule 3280 requires brokers to provide written notice to their employing firm before they participate in private securities transactions.

Violations of Rule 3280 and many other FINRA Rules may also be violations of Rule 2010, which requires brokers to maintain high standards of professional honor.

• $5,000 fine
