Soreide Law Group (888-760-6552) obtained the following information from FINRA’s December disciplinary actions:
Jeffrey D. Jacobson (CRD #1976541, Maple Grove, Minnesota)
was fined $7,500 and suspended by FINRA for 15 business days for allegedly failing to adequately supervise a representative who initiated hundreds of trades for elderly clients without contacting them and unsuitably recommended transactions to those clients.
FINRA’s findings stated that Jacobson was primarily responsible for supervising the representative’s trading activity, although he was not responsible for approving the representative’s trades of municipal bonds. Jacobson did not adequately investigate warning signs, such as the clients’ repeated appearing on certain monthly exception reports addressing accounts with high levels of trading activity. Jacobson never communicated with the clients, relying instead on “activity letters” that did not adequately describe the representative’s trading activity or adequately inform the client about the concerns that prompted the letters.
According to FINRA, Jacobson also failed to alert any other supervisory personnel about the representative’s trading activity.
This suspension was in effect from November 21, 2016, through December 12, 2016.
