Investors apparently complained about securities broker Robert Harold Sweet (also known as Bob Sweet) [CRD: 4090608, El Paso, Texas], according to public information on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Particularly, Sweet joined Independent Financial Group, LLC as a broker on February 22, 2016, and as an investment adviser on March 23, 2016. Read below to discover more about disclosures involving this securities broker.
An allegation of unsuitable advice involving non-traded REITs generally means a broker potentially recommended these investments to a customer without properly determining whether they matched the customer’s financial goals, risk tolerance, or liquidity needs. Non-traded REITs are typically high-risk, long-term, and illiquid. Problems can arise when customers are not advised about risks, fees, or restrictions on accessing funds. These situations often lead customers to claim losses when the investments perform poorly or are illiquid.
Notably, on August 19, 2025, a Raymond James Financial Services and LPL Financial LLC customer filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-01732 about Robert Harold Sweet. Evidently, the customer alleged that Sweet violated federal securities laws (Reg BI) in connection with investing the customer in non-traded real estate investment trusts. Because of this, the customer allegedly incurred damages. As a result, the customer requested $100,000 in compensation from Raymond James Financial Services, LPL Financial LLC, or Sweet. It appears that this arbitration is pending a resolution.
