Investor Dispute

On June 2, 2022, an investor alleged that Logan Blewett recommended the client sell a fixed rate certificate of deposit in August 2021 and use the proceeds to purchase a municipal bond portfolio.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to determine whether an investment fits their investor’s financial goals when making recommendations. Brokers must consider a client’s tax status, age, and other information described in their investor’s profile.
