INVESTOR ALERT: Clients of Stifel Nicolaus Financial Advisor Chuck Roberts File $38,100,000 In Broker Fraud Lawsuits.
SSEK Structured Product Loss Attorneys Represents Structured Product Investors in Pursuing Damages
More than one year, after our investment loss recovery lawyers began investigating claims of losses by customers of Stifel, Nicolaus stockbroker Chuck A. Roberts, the number of FINRA arbitration claims filed by those seeking damages, has skyrocketed. According to Roberts’ CRD, there are at least 16 pending investor loss cases involving this financial advisor and the money being sought is now collectively over $38,000,000. There are 21 disclosures in total on his record. Meantime, Roberts remains a registered representative with Stifel where he has worked as a broker and/or investment adviser for the last seven years. Reports indicate that he is based out of New York City and/or Miami Beach, Florida.
These slew of FINRA lawsuits alleging broker misconduct appear to involve the sale of structured notes. High-risk investment performance is usually tied to an underlying asset, such as a certain index or a stock. Underwritten by Wall Street banks and a bond-derivative hybrid, structured notes can be volatile, and they don’t always come with principal protection. This could mean a total loss for some investors if their investment does poorly.
While structured products can allow even retail investors to become involved in investment strategies they wouldn’t normally have access to, that does not mean they are a suitable investment recommendation for every investor. That said, many of those who have filed structured product loss lawsuits involving Roberts are wealthy investors.
In their FINRA arbitration claims, his customers are alleging negligence, broker fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, churning, reverse churning, unauthorized trading, breach of contract, and misrepresentations. The majority of the investment loss recovery lawsuits are seeking $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
