Newbridge Securities Broker Andrew Corbman of Lansdowne, Virginia & Unsuitable Investments

Stoltmann Law Offices is investigating Andrew Scott Corbman, who recently entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Corbman is accused of allegedly making unsuitable investment recommendations that were inconsistent with the customers’ investment objectives and risk tolerances and resulted in over-concentration of their liquid net worth in these investments from April 2009 through June 2009. Corbman also allegedly recommended to customers who were a married couple to purchase unsuitable highly risky leveraged, inverse Exchange-Traded Funds (Non-Traditional ETFs). And in March 2010, Crobman recommended to an elderly customer with a conservative risk tolerance to purchase an unsuitable and risky alternative mutual fund with no operational history. He also allegedly distributed a sales brochure for an alternative mutual fund to at least 10 of his customers that contained information that was misleading. These are all against securities rules and regulations.

A broker has a duty to recommend suitable investments for his clients, based on the client’s age, net worth and investment objective, among other factors. If he does not, his brokerage firm can be held liable for investment losses because it is responsible for supervising him.
