Allegations of Broker Misconduct Against Jason Layland
- Unsuitable Recommendations. Allegations include unsuitable recommendations of a variable annuity and corporate bonds. Suitability for retail customers is governed by FINRA Rule 2111 (Suitability), which requires a reasonable basis and customer-specific suitability for any recommendation.
- Misrepresentation/Omission of Material Risks. The 2008/2009 matter asserts the risks and volatility of bond investments were not fully or correctly represented. Such allegations often implicate FINRA Rule 2020 (Use of Manipulative, Deceptive or Other Fraudulent Devices) and FINRA Rule 2010 (Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade).
- Best-Interest Obligations for Retail Customers. Recommendations made to retail customers after June 30, 2020 (e.g., the 2022 annuity claim) are evaluated under the SEC’s Regulation Best Interest (Exchange Act Rule 15l-1(a)), which requires brokers to act in the customer’s best interest when making recommendations.
