The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) filed a rule proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) aimed at increasing investor protection. The proposal would allow FINRA’s BrokerCheck to display the same information available on the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (“IAPD”) website for brokers who are also registered as investment advisers. BrokerCheck and the IAPD provide a wealth of information about registered persons, including the individual’s disciplinary history. Earlier this year the SEC made changes to the IAPD so that it displays all information found on BrokerCheck for investment advisers who are dually registered as brokers.
I am grateful to have found an outstanding law firm that specializes in securities matters. My lawyers were extremely knowledgeable, diligent, and are skilled litigators. No stone was left upturned. As a result of their experience and tenacity, the arbitration proceeding was dismissed in my favor.
