Merrill Lynch Investor Accused Schild Of Charging Excessive Commissions

Evidently, a Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner Smith Incorporated client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 12-03086 about Randy Schild.

Randy Schild Disclosed Failure To Supervise Allegations By Morgan Stanley Client

Specifically, a client of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney contested Randy Schild’s sales practices, according to a complaint dated October 12, 2012. Allegedly, Schild failed to supervise the financial advisors handling the client’s accounts, who had engaged in unauthorized trading. Supposedly Schild caused the client to sustain damages on stocks, real estate investment trusts, and equity-linked securities.
