Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Client Alleges Unsuitable Investments By Jim Driggers

Evidently, a client of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney complained about suitability. Basically, suitability concerns an investor’s risk tolerance, investment objectives, financial needs, and more. Supposedly, Jim Driggers had the client invest in unsuitable alternative investments. It appears that by investing in hedge funds between August 2016 and July 2020, the client experienced damages. For this reason, the client asked for $200,000 in compensation in this ongoing matter.

Client Alleges Unsuitable Bond Purchases

Evidently, a client of Morgan Stanley complained about corporate bond investments in November 2016. It seems that the client invested in corporate bonds from 2014 to 2016 because of Jim Driggers and then experienced damages. However, Morgan Stanley denied this complaint in March 2017.

Client Alleges Misrepresentation, Unsuitability Relating To Structured Product Transactions By Jim Driggers

Specifically, the client contends that the securities broker made misrepresentations about Lehman Brothers structured notes. Supposedly, Jim Driggers did not properly disclose the risks of the investment. The structured product was not suitable, according to the client. Because of this, the client asked for compensation.
