Allegations of Poor Management

On February 23, 2022, multiple investors filed a dispute alleging that Ryan Brockhaus failed to appropriately manage their funds to fulfill their stated goal of using the funds to purchase a home, and the lack of management resulted in the account losing value. The dispute was denied by the firm.

However, firms can deny disputes without any outside review, and investors can still recover their losses by pursuing FINRA arbitration after a denial.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to employ an investment strategy that suits investors’ investment goals, taking into account information described in their clients’ profiles, such as their age, tax status, and risk tolerance.

Investors who believe their broker failed to consider their investment goals when managing a discretionary account may be able to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration.
