Phillip Loring Allegedly Failed to Act in Client’s Best Interest

Phillip Loring (CRD #: 3025625), a broker registered with LPL Financial, was involved in a recent dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on August 19, 2022. Read on to learn more about Phillip Loring’s conduct as a broker.

Investor Disputes

On May 11, 2022, an investor alleged that Phillip Loring made mutual fund transactions that were not in her best interest and that these transactions were executed to generate commissions. These transactions allegedly occurred from January 1, 1995, to the date of filing. This dispute was denied by the firm.

However, investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an outside review, and investors can still seek out FINRA arbitration after a denial.
