Raul Moreno Embroiled in Misrepresentation Allegations

Raul Moreno (CRD #:4140096), a broker and investment advisor registered with  J.P. Morgan Securities, is involved in his first investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on November 22, 2021. 

Investor Allegations 

On October 25, 2021, an investor filed a claim against Raul Moreno, alleging that he failed to fully disclose all the facts regarding the surrender charges, guarantees, and risks of an investment he recommended. The case is still pending. 

What is Misrepresentation/ Omission? 

Investment brokers are required to provide accurate information on financial products for their clients. Misrepresentation and omission most often occur due to: 

• Lack of due diligence or investigating an investment fully before giving a recommendation 
• Failing to disclose either the full extent of the costs or risks of an investment 
• Giving unrealistic projections for an investment  
• Incorrectly calculating the performance of an investment 

Misrepresentations and omissions concerning material facts in investment recommendations deprive investors of the information they need to assess risks associated with a particular investment. FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits brokerage firms and stockbrokers from making material misrepresentations or inducing people into buying investments with false statements about their potential benefits. This unethical conduct also violates FINRA Rule 2010, which states that brokers must uphold high standards of commercial honor.
