Frank Briseno III, (CRD#: 1177246) and FSC Securities Corporation continues to face customer disputes for allegedly making unsuitable recommendations to invest in non-traded real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).

When making investment recommendations, financial professionals such as investment advisors and stockbrokers must recommend a transaction or investment strategy that is suitable for each customer based on the customer’s profile, including their age, other investments, financial situation, tax status, investment objectives, and risk tolerance. 

Making unsuitable recommendations is a violation of FINRA Rule 2111. When clients suffer damages, those clients may be able to recover their damages through a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) arbitration. Briseno and FSC Securities Corporation were alleged to have made recommendations to invest in high-risk REITs and to have violated FINRA’s suitability rule.

If your stockbroker, financial advisor, or investment professional makes unsuitable recommendations, the company that he or she works for might be liable to you for resulting damages. Brokerage firms, such as FSC Securities Corp. are required to supervise their brokers and financial advisors under FINRA Rule 3110. 

According to FINRA BrokerCheck, FSC Securities Corporation is alleged to have failed to reasonably supervise, maintain, or enforce a supervisory system resulting in over 52 disclosures and fines paid over $8 million. Failure to supervise, which results in losses to a customer, may result in the brokerage firm being held liable and responsible for customers’ damages.
