RBC Capital Markets Client Indicates Unsuitability In Dispute About David Paton

Evidently, a client of RBC Capital Markets disputed David Paton’s sales practices on June 25, 2020. Basically, the client indicated that Paton caused them to invest in unsuitable stocks. It seems that the client sustained losses on CGIX and SSYS positions that they maintained from 2014 to 2020. However, RBC Capital Markets denied this complaint in June 2020.

Client Of RBC Capital Markets Alleges Overly Risky OTC Equity Transaction

Additionally, in December 2017, an RBC Capital Markets client expressed displeasure with David Paton’s trading or recommendations. It appears that an unsuitable purchase of an equity resulted in damages. That equity seemingly contained too much risk relative to the client’s risk tolerance. Not only that, but it seems that the client maintained too large of a position in the equity. Because of this, RBC Capital Markets opted to settle this suitability dispute through making a $10,000 payment to the client in 2018.
