Randall Larson Terminated by Arete Wealth Management

Randall Larson (CRD #: 5862743), a broker registered with 25 Financial, has been fired by Arete Wealth Management. This disclosure appears on his BrokerCheck record, accessed on December 18, 2023. Details concerning his termination are provided below. 

On October 11, 2023, Arete Wealth Management fired Randall Larson following allegations that the broker had not been forthcoming during an internal investigation. 

On March 19, 2019, an investor alleged that Randall Larson breached his fiduciary duties as an advisor associated with Larson Financial Securities by failing to prevent the alleged activities of Jeffrey Larson. 

The investor sought $10.5 million but the dispute was denied. Investors should know, however, that firms can deny disputes without any external review. Our securities attorneys can still recover losses following a denial via FINRA arbitration. 

Fiduciary Duties

Registered Investment Advisors are fiduciaries, and fiduciaries are required to act in their clients’ best interests. Brokers are not fiduciaries but must abide by FINRA Rule 2111 and Regulation Best Interest. (To learn more about the differences between brokers and Registered Investment Advisers, click here.)
