Smith worked for RBC Capital Markets LLC from April 1, 2015, to January 29, 2025, and he has been registered with Citizens Securities Inc. since January 17, 2025, as a securities broker and since January 21, 2025, as a financial advisor.

RBC Capital Markets Investor Accused Smith Of Unsuitable Recommendations And Overconcentration

Evidently, on December 2, 2025, an RBC Capital Markets LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-02627 about Dustin Smith. Primarily, the client alleged that Smith made unsuitable recommendations and overconcentrated accounts by investing the entirety of the client’s retirement assets in structured notes. For this reason, the client allegedly sustained damages connected to those structured notes. Therefore, the client requested $2,000,000 in compensation from RBC Capital Markets LLC or Smith. BrokerCheck shows that this arbitration is ongoing.

Dustin Smith Disclosed Failure To Follow Instructions Allegations By UBS Financial Services Inc Client

Also, a client of UBS Financial Services Inc contested Smith’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated October 16, 2013. Allegedly, Smith failed to follow instructions related to premium payments and did not ensure that the client’s mailing address was updated, which allegedly caused the lapse of the client’s insurance policy and the loss of a death benefit. It appears that Smith allegedly caused the client to sustain damages linked to the life insurance products. Consequently, the client sought compensation from UBS Financial Services Inc or Smith in the amount of $330,000 in this matter. However, the firm denied this complaint.
