Investors might have sustained losses due to securities broker Valery Lynn Oswald (also known as Valery Lynn Sager and Valery Lynn Schollenbarger) [CRD: 1997347, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma], based on disclosures on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Evidently, Oswald worked for Raymond James Associates Inc. from January 10, 2014, to July 17, 2018. See the following information to find out more about the securities broker’s disclosures.
Particularly, on October 18, 2024, a Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner Smith Incorporated client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 01-24-0008-2804 about Valery Oswald. The client alleged that Oswald breached her fiduciary duty, was negligent, and breached a contract. The client also accused Oswald of violating the Oklahoma Uniform Securities Act of 2004 and cited the legal doctrine of respondeat superior. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on life insurance products. Therefore, the client requested $1,883,594.00 in compensation from Merrill Lynch or Oswald. Evidently, this arbitration is pending a resolution.
A breach of fiduciary duty occurs when a financial advisor or broker fails to act in the best interests of their client. Brokers have a legal obligation to recommend suitable investments, disclose all material facts, and avoid conflicts of interest. When a broker prioritizes their own gain or acts negligently—resulting in client losses—they may be found to have breached this duty. Allegations of fiduciary breaches are serious, as they call into question the broker’s loyalty, integrity, and professionalism in managing client investments.
