Soreide Law Group is reviewing potential investor claims concerning securities broker Joseph Ijong Chu (CRD#: 4546805, Stamford, Connecticut). Namely, Chu, who works for RBC Capital Markets as a financial advisor and securities broker (2018 - present), is involved in six investor disputes alleging sales practice violations according to FINRA BrokerCheck. Here’s more about the allegations against Chu and what you could do if you experienced losses.
Joseph Chu’s RBC Capital Markets Client Alleges Negligence, Breach Of Fiduciary Duty
In a June 2021 FINRA Arbitration Claim, a client of RBC Capital Markets alleges sales practice violations against Joseph Chu. First, the client alleges that Chu was negligent as financial advisor. Secondly, Chu allegedly acted in breach of fiduciary duty concerning energy securities. It appears that the client sustained damages from purportedly unsuitable energy investments. Moreover, the client alleges that RBC Capital Markets failed to supervise. For this reason, the client asked for $1,000,000 in compensation. This matter is ongoing.
Client Alleges Chu Used Unsuitable Strategy With Oil, Gas Investments
Also, a client of RBC Capital Markets disputed Joseph Chu’s sales practices via a dispute from January 2021. Supposedly, Chu made unsuitable recommendations, pushing an investment strategy that resulted in damages. The dispute further alleges that Chu may have had personal connections with the oil and gas company’s CEO, which could have prevented Chu from being impartial regarding the investment. Because of this, the client asked for $180,213.94 to resolve this ongoing matter.
Investor Alleges Joseph Chu Caused Losses On Energy Investments
Evidently, a third RBC Capital Markets client disputed Joseph Chu’s sales practices. In this November 2020 FINRA Arbitration Claim, the client contends that Chu did not diversify their account. Supposedly, Chu put their money in one sector: energy. The client claims that Chu’s actions were improper because of the client’s objectives and risk tolerance. For this reason, the client demanded $367,452 in damages to resolve this matter.
Chu Accused Of Making Unsuitable Recommendations Of Energy Stocks
BrokerCheck also shows that Joseph Chu is involved in an investor’s dispute from August 2020. Chu supposedly gave advice to this client, which included his recommendations of oil producing and industrial materials and materials equities. The client supposedly sustained losses between September 2018 through January 2020. For this reason, RBC Capital Markets resolved this matter by making a $500,000 payment to the client.
Moreover, a July 2020 dispute settled for $175,000. The client in that case alleged unsuitability and misrepresentation of volatile investments when Chu worked for Merrill Lynch and RBC Capital Markets.
