Customer Allegations Of Excessive Trading, Suitability Involving Robert Schultz

Robert Nathan Schultz (CRD#: 1769129, Houston, TX) is a former UBS Financial Services securities representative. The firm reported on Robert Schultz’s FINRA BrokerCheck profile that a customer complained about Robert Schultz’s sales practices. According to the customer, Robert Schultz made excessive trades in the customer’s account. Not only that, but the customer claimed that it was not suitable for Robert Schultz to put the customer in municipal bond funds, government sponsored enterprises (GSEs), real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnerships (MLPS), exchange traded funds (ETFS), mutual funds and other equities. Additionally, the customer stated that Robert Schultz charged the customer excessive fees and commissions on investments. Apparently, Robert Schultz’s excessive and unsuitable trades transpired from 2009 to 2015.

UBS Discharges Gayle Dilla For Discretionary Trading In Investor’s Account

Gayle Anne Dilla (CRD#: 1633766, Washington, DC) is a past general securities representative for UBS Financial Services. The firm employed Gayle Dilla from January 16, 2009 to November 7, 2017.
