Silver Law Group Announces Filing of FINRA Arbitration Claim on Behalf of Customers of Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc.
Silver Law Group is investigating claims against Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. for the sale of unsuitable investments.
Silver Law Group has filed a securities arbitration claim against Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Inc. (“Stifel”) alleging the customers suffered significant losses due to unsuitable investments and misrepresentation of fees and commissions. The allegations include unsuitable investments, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, breach of contract and failure to supervise.
Stifel’s broker allegedly recommended unsuitable investments to conservative retired customers. The investment recommendations included concentrating the accounts in below investment-grade corporate bonds and Puerto Rico bonds. The broker would regularly make the recommendation to sell one bond to purchase another bond with a higher coupon without explaining to the customers that the higher coupon carried higher risk.
