Stoltmann Law Offices is interested in speaking to those investors who may have invested money with Cheryle Anne Brady, a former broker with Ameriprise Financial in Hingham, Massachusetts. Ms. Brady was assessed a deferred fine of $7,500 and suspended by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for allegedly falsely stating to her member firm that she had contacted clients prior to trades being placed. She allegedly placed trades in her clients’ accounts without first obtaining the clients’ approvals. Allegedly, a member of her sales supervision team sent her an email containing a list of the trades and inquired if Brady had spoken with each client on that day. Brady responded that she had spoken to each of the clients, and, after each call, had instructed her sales assistant to place the trades. Later, she admitted she did not speak to the clients before the trades were placed. This is against securities laws and internal firm rules.

According to her online BrokerCheck report with FINRA, Ms. Brady was previously registered with Pioneer Funds Distributor in Boston, Massachusetts from January 1993 until May 1993, Linsco/Private Ledger in Boston from June 1993 until March 1994, A.G. Edwards & Sons in St. Louis, Missouri from January 1995 until May 1997, UBS Painewebber in Weehawken, New Jersey from June 1997 until March 2002, RBC Capital Markets in Norwell, Massachusetts from March 2002 until February 2012 and Ameriprise Financial Services in Hingham, Massachusetts from January 2012 until October 2016. She has three customer disputes against her. She is not currently registered as a broker and has been suspended from the industry.

Andrew Corbman has been the subject of at least two customer complaints over allegations of securities law violations that include unsuitable investment recommendations, overconcentration of investments and violations of industry rules among other claims. Some of the securities in question include leveraged and non-traditional exchange traded funds (ETFs). The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) also found that Corbman distributed a sales brochure for an alternative mutual fund to his customers that contained information that was misleading and failed to provide a sound basis for evaluating the alternative mutual fund. In February 2016, FINRA settled a regulatory action against Corbman alleging that he made recommendations that were unsuitable and over-concentrated and exposed customers to a risk loss that exceeded each customer’s risk tolerance and investment objectives. As a result, FINRA suspended Corbman for one month.

Corbman was registered with RAF Financial Corp, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Morgan Stanley, ING Financial Partners, FSC Securities, Kovack Securities and Newbridge Securities in Lansdowne, Virginia from November 2015 until March 2016.

Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating Andrew Scott Corbman, who recently entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Corbman is accused of allegedly making unsuitable investment recommendations that were inconsistent with the customers’ investment objectives and risk tolerances and resulted in over-concentration of their liquid net worth in these investments from April 2009 through June 2009. Corbman also allegedly recommended to customers who were a married couple to purchase unsuitable highly risky leveraged, inverse Exchange-Traded Funds (Non-Traditional ETFs). And in March 2010, Crobman recommended to an elderly customer with a conservative risk tolerance to purchase an unsuitable and risky alternative mutual fund with no operational history. He also allegedly distributed a sales brochure for an alternative mutual fund to at least 10 of his customers that contained information that was misleading. These are all against securities rules and regulations.

A broker has a duty to recommend suitable investments for his clients, based on the client’s age, net worth and investment objective, among other factors.
