Investor Disputes

On June 10, 2022, an investor alleged that Robert Bragg committed fraud, negligence, and negligent supervision, as well as making unsuitable investment recommendations and violating FINRA Rule 2210. This dispute is pending.

In a dispute filed on February 24, 2015, an investor alleged that Robert Bragg gave unsuitable investment recommendations, made misrepresentations, and exhibited a lack of honesty and fairness from March 2005 to August 13, 2013. The client sought $460,488 and received a settlement of $60,000.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to take into account investors’ financial goals when recommending investments. Brokers must use the information contained in an investor’s profile, including the client’s age, tax status, and overall financial situation.

Investors who rely on their broker for recommendations may be able to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration.

FINRA Rules 2210, 2020, and 2010

FINRA Rule 2210 regulates how brokers and firms communicate with the public. This rule prohibits the use of misleading, and deceptive statements in communications with current or potential clients, and requires firms to review and approve public communications before their use.

Similarly, FINRA Rule 2020 bans the use of deceptive and manipulative tactics to influence investors’ decisions. This includes misrepresenting or omitting relevant information, such as an investment’s potential risks, limitations, or returns.

These and other forms of misconduct also violate FINRA Rule 2010, which requires brokers to uphold high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.

FINRA Rule 3110

FINRA Rule 3110 requires firms to establish and maintain systems of supervision. Firms must ensure that supervisors have the appropriate training or experience for their roles.
