Paul Saldana Embroiled in Investor Dispute for Allegedly Failing to Follow Instructions

Paul Saldana (CRD #:4137683), a registered broker and investment advisor with Morgan Stanley, is involved in an investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on January 5, 2021.  

According to the allegations filed on October 28, 2021, Paul Saldana failed to follow instructions regarding a stock trade order from October 2021. The case was denied but investors should know that they can still recover losses following a denial. 

It is the duty of a stockbroker to execute a customer’s orders promptly in a manner best suited to serve the customer’s best interest. 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.  

Failure to follow customer instructions violates FINRA Rule 2010, which requires all registered members to observe high standards of commercial honor and just principles in their business dealings.
