Investors potentially experienced sales practice violations due to securities broker Peter J. Cox (also known as Peter J Cox) [CRD: 4501828, Mesquite, Nevada], according to publicly available information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Evidently, Peter Cox worked for LPL Financial LLC during the time in question. He is currently registered as both a broker and investment adviser with LPL Financial LLC in Mesquite and Las Vegas, Nevada. Check out the following information to find out more about the investor complaints against this broker.
Particularly, on August 25, 2024, an LPL Financial LLC client filed a complaint about Peter Cox. The client alleged that Cox engaged in unauthorized trading. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on stocks. Therefore, the client requested more than $5,000 in compensation from LPL Financial LLC or Cox.
Unauthorized trading occurs when a securities broker or financial advisor executes a trade in a client’s account without first obtaining the client’s permission or having prior written discretionary authority. Typically, investment accounts are either discretionary—where the broker has written authorization to trade without prior client approval—or non-discretionary, in which case the broker must obtain consent for every trade. In a non-discretionary account, placing trades without the client’s knowledge or approval is considered a violation of FINRA rules. Clients may sustain losses if these trades go against their risk tolerance, investment goals, or if they result in high fees or tax consequences.
