The investment loss recovery counsel at Soreide Law Group provide you with the following FINRA BrokerCheck details regarding securities broker Matthew “Matt” Gates (CRD#: 4727945, New York, New York). It appears that Gates worked for securities firm Joseph Gunnar Co. LLC (2009 to 2020) as financial advisor and securities broker before joining Worden Capital Management LLC. Evidently, investors of Joseph Gunnar brought disputes about Gates’ sales practices. Let’s take a closer look at those disclosures.
Evidently, a client of Joseph Gunnar filed a dispute about Matt Gates in June 2021 in regard to a real estate security. Supposedly, the client invested in an unsuitable REIT which caused them to experience damages. For this reason, they seek $16,600 in compensation. This FINRA Arbitration Claim is unresolved as of June 30, 2021.
It appears that Matt Gates worked for Joseph Gunnar Company since 2009 but was discharged in January 2020. Specifically, Joseph Gunnar claimed that Gates removed their clients’ information. According to the firm, Gates’ actions supposedly violated company policy and SEC rules. Gates denies the allegations.
It appears that a client of Joseph Gunnar disputed Matt Gates’ sales practices in August 2019. In this complaint, the client alleges misrepresentation. This concerned the client’s liquidity in a private placement. It seems that this resulted in damages to the client. To resolve the misrepresentation allegations, Joseph Gunnar compensated the client in the amount of $30,000 in July 2020.
Notably, BrokerCheck shows that a Joseph Gunnar client disputed Matt Gates’ stock trades. Supposedly, Joseph Gunnar or the securities broker acted in breach of fiduciary duty. In addition, but the client alleges negligence and negligent supervision of stock transactions. Finally, the securities broker supposedly misrepresented information in connection with the trades. It seems that Joseph Gunnar settled this matter by making a $40,000 payment to the client.
The first dispute about Gates concerns his alleged failure to place a stop loss order. However, Joseph Gunnar denied that dispute.
