Naveen K. Bhagwani (CRD #5423037, West Palm Beach, Florida)
was barred by FINRA for alleged unauthorized trades in client’s non-discretionary accounts without the knowledge, authorization, or consent of the clients or any persons with trading authority over the accounts.
FINRA's findings stated that Bhagwani excessively traded, made unsuitable investments and churned client accounts with the intention and purpose of generating commissions for himself and his member firm.
FINRA's findings also stated that Bhagwani misrepresented material facts to clients, and in part to cover up his fraudulent practices, created and forged his client’s signatures on a letter that authorized the transfer of their funds, without their knowledge or consent.
