Joyce Hinds Allegedly Recommended Investment to Generate Commissions

Joyce Hinds (CRD #: 1777401), a broker formerly registered with Cambridge Investment Research, is the subject of a pending investor dispute, according to her BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 2, 2025. Keep reading if you have questions about her alleged conduct as a broker.

Investor Dispute

On March 13, 2025, an investor alleged that Joyce Hinds recommended an investment in order to generate commissions and fees that, as a result, the client did not generate reasonable returns. This dispute is currently pending.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to take investors’ profiles into account when recommending investments. These profiles contain information such as investors’ age, tax status, risk tolerance, and financial goals.

Investors incur trading fees on their transactions, and brokers earn commissions on trades involving eligible investments. In some cases, brokers may engage in excessive trading or recommend unsuitable investments to generate higher commissions.

Investors who rely on their broker for recommendations may be able to recoup their losses through FINRA arbitration.
