Securities Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Indianapolis RIA and TD Ameritrade
From the Desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law LLC:
An Illinois couple has filed a punitive class action lawsuit against TD Ameritrade and RIA, Sheaff Brock Investment Advisors claiming they lost a significant amount of money in a trading strategy the company said was stable and conservative.
More specifically, according to the complaint, TD Ameritrade was incentivized to refer its customers with Sheaff Brock through its Advisor Direct Program. In turn, Sheaff Brock convinced the Plaintiffs to use a put options income trading strategy that it claimed was low-risk and was a “cash flow sausage factory.”
However, in reality, the “put options strategy” was aggressive, high risk, regularly unsuccessful and generated significant losses. Furthermore, as a result of the strategy, Plaintiffs lost significant amounts of money.
If you were placed in a put option strategy with TD Ameritrade or any other firm, and have suffered losses, you may be able to recover through litigation or through securities arbitration (which offers advantages over litigation including cost savings, speed and efficiency).
