FINRA Arbitration Claims Filed Against Christopher Cavallaro
According to the BrokerCheck report of Christopher Cavallaro, the LPL Financial LLC broker has been accused of misconduct by three clients. Each of the disputes alleges that Cavallaro made unsuitable oil & gas investment recommendations. The recommendations reportedly occurred while the broker was employed with Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation.
In all of the claims, customers allege losses exceeding $5,000. The most recent dispute involves damages of $75,000. The broker has one settled dispute filed against him. As reported, the claimant alleged that while working as a registered representative of Lincoln Financial Advisors Corporation Cavallaro recommended investment in Future Income Payments, LLC (FIP) which stopped making payments pursuant to the agreement. The matter was settled for $100,000.
What Is an Unsuitable Recommendation?
Under FINRA Rule 2111, broker-dealers and their associated representatives must make investment recommendations that are suitable for their clients. They must use reasonable diligence to ensure that the recommendation is in line with the customer’s investment profile.
A customer’s investment profile may include but is not limited to:
- Their age;
- Financial situation and needs;
- Tax status;
- Investment objectives and experience;
- Investment time horizon;
- Liquidity needs; and
- Risk tolerance.
Making a recommendation that does not meet the client’s objectives or needs may result in substantial losses and be considered unsuitable. In other words, unsuitable investment recommendations are those that are not made in the best interest of the client. If you believe that your broker made unsuitable investments resulting in investment losses, you need to speak to an investment fraud lawyer.
