Soreide Law Group is currently investigating potential claims on behalf of individuals who have suffered losses invested with registered broker and investment adviser, Brian M. Wurdemann (CRD#: 4206425, New York, NY). Notably, Wurdemann worked with RBC Capital Markets LLC in New York, NY from May 4, 2017, to May 5, 2022, and with UBS Financial Services Inc. in Paramus, NJ from January 27, 2011, to May 15, 2017. In his career, investors made allegations of his sales practice violations. Also, Wurdemann was sanctioned by FINRA and ultimately barred from association with any of its members in all capacities.
RBC Capital Markets LLC Investor Accused Wurdemann Of Unauthorized Trading And Unsuitability
Specifically, on September 26, 2023, a client of RBC Capital Markets LLC filed FINRA Arbitration: 23-002295 about Brian Wurdemann. Notably, the client alleged that Wurdemann executed trades without prior discussion or discretionary authority, did not invest in suitable investments, and failed to disclose risks and suitability for each trade. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on mortgage-backed securities. Therefore, the client requested over $1,800,000 in compensation from RBC Capital Markets LLC or Wurdemann. Evidently, this arbitration is pending a resolution.
Brian Wurdemann Disclosed Unauthorized Loan Allegations By RBC Capital Markets LLC Client
Additionally, a client of RBC Capital Markets LLC contested Brian Wurdemann's sales practices, according to a complaint dated February 27, 2023. Supposedly, Wurdemann took a loan from the client in January 2022 without repaying as promised. It appears that Wurdemann allegedly caused the client to claim damages amounting to $355,000. Therefore, the client sought compensatory relief from RBC Capital Markets LLC or Wurdemann. However, the client withdrew this complaint.
FINRA Barred Wurdemann For Non-Compliance
Also, on February 21, 2023, FINRA issued a sanction in Case Number #: 2022075005001 against Brian Wurdemann for non-compliance. Specifically, FINRA alleged that Wurdemann failed to respond to requests for information. Following this, because Wurdemann did not request the termination of his suspension within three months from the Notice of Suspension, he was automatically barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities.
RBC Capital Markets LLC Investor Accused Brian Wurdemann Of Misrepresentation
Also, an RBC Capital Markets LLC client alleged that Wurdemann did not fully inform them of the potential risks associated with purchasing a structured note.

Therefore, on December 16, 2020, RBC Capital Markets LLC settled this matter by paying the client $14,000 in damages.
UBS Financial Services Inc. Client Alleged Misrepresentation
Particularly, a client of UBS Financial Services Inc. contested Brian Wurdemann’s sales practices, according to a complaint. Supposedly, Wurdemann misrepresented the nature of three mutual fund investments between 2012 and 2018. It appears that Wurdemann caused the client to sustain damages on these mutual fund products. Therefore, UBS Financial Services Inc. opted to settle the matter on January 7, 2022, by compensating the client in the amount of $385,000.
UBS Financial Services Inc. Investor Accused Brian Wurdemann Of Misconduct
