Morgan Stanley Ordered to Pay $1.8 Million to Investor
From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law
In a recent decision, three arbitrators from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) ordered Morgan Stanley to pay $1.8 million in damages to a former customer.
The customer had asserted that two of the firm's advisors mishandled her portfolio, overconcentrating her investments in WisdomTree Investments Inc. stock from 2011 to 2020.
The arbitration panel also rejected a request to expunge the advisors’ records. According to AdvisorHub, a Morgan Stanley spokesperson expressed disappointment with the Award, noting that the client and the advisors had discussed the concentrated position frequently.
