SELLING AWAY (INVESTMENTS NOT ON YOUR ACCOUNT STATEMENTS)

SELLING AWAY IS CAUSED BY IMPROPER SUPERVISION

Financial advisors too often misappropriate funds by making recommendations to the customer to take funds out of the brokerage account and invest in high risk outside investments, which investments do not appear on your monthly brokerage account statements. The broker can also engage in this practice by making investment recommendations that do not appear on your monthly brokerage account statements and you pay for the investment from funds not associated with your brokerage account.

Either way, this practice is known as “selling away”, meaning the broker’s investment activities are being done on the side and are not being reported to or approved by the brokerage firm that employs him. These investments are usually very high risk, or outright theft of your funds even though it appears legitimate. Brokerage firms have a duty to supervise all activities of the financial advisor and the financial advisor is an agent of the brokerage firm, thereby binding the firm to the broker’s investment activities.
