FINRA BrokerCheck shows that Rod Ferruso [CRD: 1457661, Morgantown, West Virginia] is the subject of scrutiny due to various investor disputes and regulatory actions during his time with Royal Alliance Associates Inc. in Morgantown, WV (2018 - 2022) and previously with Signator Investors Inc.

On September 25, 2023, FINRA issued Case No. 2022076141801 against Rod Ferruso. Notably, Ferruso was barred from associating with any FINRA member in all capacities. This action was in response to Ferruso's refusal to provide testimony as demanded under FINRA rules. The regulator’s inquiry revolved around alleged "short-term trading of certain mutual funds" in client accounts during his time with Osaic Wealth Inc., formerly known as Royal Alliance Associates Inc. Ferruso's non-cooperation hindered FINRA's ability to conduct an investigation into potential misconduct.
On November 21, 2012, a client of Signator Investors Inc. raised issues with Rod Ferruso's sales practices.
