Investor Allegations 

On October 8, 2021, a dispute was filed against Karen Zicht after failing to follow her client’s instructions. The client alleges that she told Karen Zicht to close her Jackson National Life Insurance account, which had a balance of $13,751.85. Karen Zicht allegedly instead closed the wrong Jackson National Life Insurance, which had a balance of $69,126.46.

It is the duty of a broker to perform a customer’s orders promptly in a manner best suited to serve the customer’s best interest. Failure to follow customer instructions, both as directed and in a timely manner, violates FINRA Rule 2010, which requires all registered members to observe high standards of commercial honor and just principles in their business dealings. 

When a broker fails to follow your instruction or execute your order promptly, you may be able to recover your investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
