Did You Lose Money With A Broker Who is Registered with Kestra Financial?

Individual stockbrokers/financial advisors (referred to as registered representatives in the industry) are required to be registered with a FINRA registered broker dealer. Often times that broker will operate under a “doing business as” (dba) name rather than under the name of the FINRA registered broker dealer where he or she is registered. For example, broker John Doe may be registered with Kestra Investment Services (or any of the other thousands of FINRA registered broker dealers nationwide) but his financial services business might be known in the local community as John Doe Financial Services or John Doe Investment Planning, John Doe Wealth Advisor, etc.

Should you have a claim for stockbroker malpractice, fraud or negligence for the mishandling of your account, the broker dealer where the stockbroker is registered is liable for those losses under theory that a principal is liable for the damages caused by his agents acting within the scope of their employment.

If your Kestra Investment Services broker or financial advisor causes damages due to the mishandling of your account, Kestra Investment Services can be held liable.
