Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey
According to FINRA records, Alex E. Etter, a stockbroker who was formerly employed by Caldwell International Securities, discloses a pending regulatory investigation .
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.
In FINRA Case 2014039091903, FINRA alleges that Caldwell and other representatives of his firm made unsuitable recommendations of an active trading investment strategy to their customers and that the firm is liable for the unsuitable recommendations of that strategy under the doctrine of respondeat superior.
The complaint alleges that Caldwell made recommendations despite the fact he and the other representatives failed to understand the risks of the investment strategy or the impact of the staggering commissions and fees generated would have on the customer accounts. The complaint further alleges that Etter and other representatives failed to identify customer complaints and that none of the complaints were reported to FINRA in accordance with applicable rules. This matter is currently pending.
Etter was employed by Caldwell International Securities from 4/2011-5/2016. Prior to that he was registered with World Equity Group.
