Compliance Corner
A broker from another firm was fined $60,000, suspended 9 months and ordered to repay
$32,720 in commissions for unsuitable transactions with clients. The broker used written
financial plans that contained misleading statements and omitted material information with
clients. The plans were not approved by her firm or filed with FINRA as required. In the
financial plans, the broker recommended variable universal life insurance policies to clients.
The recommendations were not suitable based on each client’s financial situation and needs.
A broker from another firm was permanently barred from the industry by FINRA for making
recommendations to clients to invest in collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) securities
without having reasonable grounds for believing his recommendations were suitable based on
the clients’ financial situations and needs. In addition, the broker,
made misstatements of material fact and omitted material facts in connection with the
•
CMO recommendations.
used discretion to select particular CMO investments for his clients, decided how much
•
of security his clients should buy and when to buy them, and decided how much margin
borrowing would be utilized to purchase the CMOs.
A broker from another firm was fined $5,000 by FINRA and suspended 40 days for settling a
client complaint outside his firm and without his firm’s knowledge.
