Merrill Lynch's Heather Weber Allegedly Sold Unsuitable, Misrepresented Investments
Soreide Law Group is reviewing possible investor claims against Heather Peterson Weber (CRD#: 2911524, Clearwater, Florida). Evidently, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) BrokerCheck shows that the securities broker, who joined Merrill Lynch in 2006, is involved in 10 investor disputes. Overall, these lawsuits seem to suggest that Peterson gave bad advice and was responsible for causing her clients to experience losses. Here’s what investors had to say.
Merrill Lynch Client Indicates That Heather Weber Provided Bad Advice
Evidently, a client of Merrill Lynch filed FINRA Arbitration Claim #: 19-02789 on September 16, 2019. It appears that Heather Weber recommended unsuitable stock and options transactions to the client. Not only that, but it seems that Weber misrepresented information relating to her trading in the client’s account. For this reason, the client demanded $350,000 in damages to resolve this ongoing matter.

Apparently, a second Merrill Lynch client filed FINRA Arbitration Claim #: 17-00613 on May 1, 2017. It appears that Heather Weber did not disclose important facts relating to investments which the client purchased and held for over two years. Also, the client suggested that the securities broker provided unsuitable advice about options. Perhaps Weber failed to consider the client’s risk tolerance, objectives or other aspect of suitability when making recommendations. Ultimately, Merrill Lynch opted to pay the client $92,500 to resolve the matter.

Moreover, Weber supposedly misstated information or possibly misled the client about options transactions. Evidently, in 2017, Merrill Lynch made a $265,000 payment to the client in order to settle this matter.
