Investor Allegations

On May 7, 2019, an investor alleged that Parker Brean engaged in unauthorized trading. The investor is seeking $95,000 but this dispute was also denied. 

Excessive Trading

FINRA Rule 2111, a.k.a. The Suitability Rule, requires brokers to tailor their investment recommendations to suit investors’ needs. Trades must be quantitatively suitable, meaning the number of trades must suit an investor’s needs. Each trade comes with a transaction fee, so too many transactions will result in excessive fees for the investor. Excessive trading is also known as “churning.”
