Wells Fargo Clearing Services LLC Disaffiliated With Ward For Policy Violations Including Potential Unsuitable Recommendations

David Ward Disclosed Sales Practice Violations Allegations By Wells Fargo Advisors LLC Client

Specifically, a client of Wells Fargo Advisors LLC contested Ward’s sales practices, according to a complaint.
