Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating Julie Smith, a former broker with Ameriprise Financial, who is not currently licensed to act as a broker or investment advisor. Smith is accused of selling an unsuitable number of non-traditional investments, short leveraged funds, inverse and leveraged exchange-traded funds (ETFs) commodities, options and derivatives. Brokers have a duty to sell securities based on the client’s age, net worth, investment portfolio, and investment sophistication. If they do not, their former firm may be liable for investment losses suffered, as they had a duty to reasonably supervise them while they were employed there.
