LPL Financial Investor Accused Cox Of Unauthorized Trading

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.

What Is Unauthorized Trading In Stocks?

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.
