Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you’ve been given advice that simply doesn’t sit right with you? Perhaps, like a child being told to touch a hot stove, you’ve been led astray by someone who was supposed to have your best interests at heart. This is the unfortunate reality for many investors who have been recommended unsuitable investments by their financial advisors.
Take, for example, the case of a customer who, according to a pending customer dispute, alleges that their representative, J. Brian Glaze, recommended investments in structured products that were not suitable for their risk tolerance (Activity period August 2021 to May 2022). This customer, who was associated with LPL Financial LLC and Avantax Investment Services, Inc., claims to have incurred a loss of $5,000 as a result of this unsuitable advice. But, what can this investor do now? Is there a way to recover these losses?
FINRA Arbitration: A Beacon of Hope
Fortunately, there is a beacon of hope for such investors. This beacon is the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). FINRA is responsible for regulating brokerage firms and their registered representatives. It provides an arbitration forum for investors to resolve their disputes.
What is FINRA Arbitration?
Imagine FINRA arbitration as a courtroom, but less formal. It’s a platform where investors can bring their complaints against brokers or brokerage firms. Think of it as a boxing ring where investors can fight for their rights, with FINRA serving as the referee to ensure a fair fight.

How can Investors Recover their Losses through FINRA Arbitration?
Now, you might be wondering, how exactly can investors recover their losses through FINRA arbitration? Well, it’s simple. The investor files a claim detailing their complaint, and if the panel of arbitrators finds in their favor, the broker or firm is ordered to pay damages.
Consider this – if you purchased a brand new car, and it broke down the moment you drove it off the lot, wouldn’t you expect the dealer to make it right? The same principle applies here. If a broker or firm has acted irresponsibly, they should be held accountable.
Is FINRA Arbitration Effective?
Does a bear hibernate in the winter? Absolutely! FINRA arbitration has proven to be an effective way for investors to recover their losses. In 2020 alone, FINRA awarded over $60 million in damages to investors. That’s a significant amount of money returned to the pockets of those who were wronged.
So, if you’ve found yourself in a similar situation as the customer in our story, don’t lose hope. There’s a way to fight back, and that’s through FINRA arbitration. Remember, it’s your hard-earned money at stake. Don’t let irresponsible advice rob you of your financial security.
