Investors potentially experienced sales practice violations due to securities broker Patricia Holder (also known as Paquita Patricia Holder) [CRD: 2894768, Miami, Florida], according to public information on FINRA BrokerCheck. Evidently, Holder worked for Morgan Stanley from June 1, 2009, to February 22, 2024, and Insigneo Securities LLC and Insigneo Advisory Services LLC since February 23, 2024. Read on to learn more about Holder’s disclosures.
Notably, on June 25, 2025, a Morgan Stanley client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-01312 about Patricia Holder. Primarily, the client alleged that Holder made unsuitable investment recommendations concerning a securities-backed line of credit strategy. Consequently, the investor allegedly incurred damages on corporate bonds. Therefore, the client requested compensation from Morgan Stanley or Holder. This arbitration is pending a resolution.
Also, a client of Citigroup Global Markets Inc. contested Patricia Holder’s sales practices, based on a complaint dated October 3, 2008. Allegedly, Holder engaged in unauthorized trading related to the purchase of a foreign bond. It appears that Holder allegedly caused the client to sustain damages. However, the client withdrew this complaint.
