Investor Alert: Protective Measures & Technicolor Red Flags
Your trust is a premium asset in the high-stakes world of investment. You’ve built your nest egg with years of diligence and sweat—and then handed it over to professionals who, sadly, sometimes don’t live up to the level of fiduciary duty legally demanded of them. News just in about allegations against financial advisor Ryan Moseley and Moseley Investment Management, Inc. serve as a stark reminder of why investor protection is more than just a buzzword; it’s an imperative in the ever-shifting financial landscape.
Deconstructing the Alleged Misstep
Coming down the pipeline from November 2021 through to May 2022, accusations have surfaced, the crux of which centers around investment diversification—or more accurately, the lack thereof. An aggrieved client has pointed the finger at Moseley, alleging a glaring absence of downside protection in their investment strategy that has left them biting a $5,000 loss.
It’s not just a case of financial inconvenience we’re talking about here. It’s a vehement allegation that signifies a potentially unacceptable violation of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 2111. Moseley’s alleged failure to spread their client’s investment across a diverse spectrum of financial instruments or sectors, coupled with inadequate downside protection measures, seemingly points to a disregard for this Rule. And if there’s one rule you don’t want to fall afoul of, as an investor, it’s the Suitability Rule.
The FINRA Rule 2111: A Cornerstone Protection for Investors
Here’s the skinny—an investment transaction or strategy has to pass the mustard, being suitable for the investor, based on FINRA Rule 2111. If it falls short, not only is it a violation of the rule, it calls into question the competence and ethical disposition of the financial advisor.
