Investors might have sustained losses due to securities broker Benjamin Melvin Schick [CRD: 4897243, Lake Mary, Florida], according to publicly available information reported on FINRA BrokerCheck. Schick has worked with Cobalt Capital Inc. since December 6, 2005, where he continues to work today. Read on to learn more about a pending investor dispute and the allegations involving unsuitable investment recommendations.
Evidently, a client of Cobalt Capital contested Benjamin Schick’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 25-00465 on March 22, 2025. Allegedly, Schick misrepresented or omitted facts, made unsuitable recommendations, and breached a fiduciary duty. Allegedly, Schick caused the client to sustain damages on private placements including iCap investments. As a result, the client seeks compensation from Cobalt Capital or Schick in the amount of $900,000 in this ongoing matter.
Unsuitable recommendations arise when securities brokers or financial advisors encourage clients to purchase investments that do not match their investment goals, risk tolerance, or financial profile. Private placements—unregistered securities often offered to a limited number of investors—can be especially risky and illiquid. If a broker fails to properly evaluate the client’s needs or discloses incomplete or misleading information, these recommendations may violate regulatory standards and result in significant investor losses.
