A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel awarded $1.3 million in damages to a Mississippi investor over the handling of her finances by Lanis Dale Noble, a former broker for Stifel Nicolaus & Co. Inc. The investor also is Noble's former daughter-in-law.
The case was filed in August 2012, accusing Noble with churning, breach of fiduciary duty, and other charges. The charges involved the use of margin and purchasing variable annuities from SunLife and ManuLife, and a Friedman Billings Ramsey real estate investment trust (REIT).
According to FINRA's BrokerCheck, Lanis D. Noble had five disclosures on his BrokerCheck report. Four were for customer disputes and one was a criminal case. Noble is not registered at this time with any firm.
