Stifel Drops Advisor Chuck Roberts Amid Legal Fallout from Failed Structured Notes Strategy

From the desk of Jim Eccleston at Eccleston Law

Stifel Financial Corp. has parted ways with Chuck Roberts, a high-profile financial advisor whose investment strategies have triggered a wave of costly legal complaints. According to InvestmentNews, neither Roberts nor Stifel has publicly disclosed the reason for his departure.

The separation follows mounting legal pressure. Over the past year, Stifel has incurred more than $166 million in damages, legal fees, and settlements linked to investor complaints involving Roberts. At least 20 additional investor claims remain pending through FINRA arbitration.

Roberts allegedly promoted structured notes to clients. The strategy has drawn numerous complaints and arbitration claims, suggesting significant client losses and mismanagement, according to InvestmentNews.
