Wayne Rubinas Involved in a Structured Note Dispute

Wayne Rubinas (CRD #: 4568138), a broker registered with RBC Capital Markets, is the subject of an investor dispute. This is according to his BrokerCheck record, accessed on January 19, 2024. Keep reading if you have concerns about his alleged misconduct. 

On October 27, 2023, an investor alleged that Wayne Rubinas did not disclose the fees associated with certain structured notes and that he would not have purchased them if he had been aware. The dispute was denied, but investors should know that firms can deny disputes without an external review. Investors may be able to recover their losses after a denial by pursuing FINRA arbitration.

Structured products

Structured products (or structured notes) are complex investments that combine a bond and a derivative. Investors’ returns are dependent on the performance of the derivative component—examples of which include forwards, options, and swaps.

The complicated nature of structured products makes them difficult for investors to evaluate. Their fees could make them unsuitable for certain investors. 

Misrepresentation 

FINRA Rule 2020 forbids the use of deceptive, manipulative, and otherwise fraudulent methods to influence the purchase and sale of securities. The misrepresentation or omission of material facts violates this rule.
