Did You Lose Money With Jay Craddock As Your Stockbroker?
In 10/2022 a customer of Edward D. Jones & Co. complained that although Jay Craddock guaranteed annual returns of 5% the customer experienced market losses. The company ‘denied’ the complaint and apparently the customer has not pursued the matter further. See below for our advice if you believe you have suffered losses due to the way your broker handled your account.
Allegations of Broker Misconduct Against Jay Craddock
A customer of Jay Craddock has alleged the following wrongdoing in connection with the handling of customer accounts:
- Broker guaranteed returns of 5% but actually experienced market losses
Brokers are prohibited from making guarantees. FINRA Rule 2150 (b) states- “No member or person associated with a member shall guarantee a customer against loss in connection with any securities transaction or in any securities account of such customer.”
Firms Have a Duty to Supervise their Financial Advisors (FINRA Rules 3110 & 2090)
Brokers and their firms have a duty to comply with the FINRA suitability rule which requires that they have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommendation is suitable for the customer. FINRA Rule 2111- suitability
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.
Has Your Brokerage Firm “Denied” Your Claim for Damages Due to Stockbroker Malpractice?
It is quite common, as well as predictable, for brokerage firms to deny a customer’s complaint made directly to the company. Firms know that in many, if not most, instances telling the customer “we don’t think it’s our fault” will be an end to the problem. In other words, it’s generally a waste of your time to sit down with the office manager & the broker.
Firms seldom, if ever, offer any resolution when a customer deals directly with them, or if they do, will attempt to have you settle your case for a fraction of what it is actually worth.
We suggest that if you think there is a problem with the way your account has been handled, or if you have had your claim “denied”, talk to an experienced securities attorney.
