A recent investor complaint against Houston financial advisor Mitchell Jacobs (CRD# 2634912) alleges damages of more than $200,000. Records provided by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority show that he is currently registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Ameriprise Financial Services.
Mr. Jacobs’ BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in August 2023, it alleges that as a representative of Ameriprise Financial Services, he failed to follow the client’s request to liquidate bonds and purchase certificates of deposit. The pending complaint alleges damages of $222,483.62.
FINRA Rule 2010 stipulates that FINRA-associated persons must “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.” A number of forms of unethical conduct, such as a broker’s failure to follow a client’s instructions, may be considered violations of FINRA Rule 2010, provided the alleged activities occur “in the conduct of [the member’s] business.” Brokers who fail to uphold FINRA Rule 2010 may be held liable for losses.
