Red Flags for Investors Working with Jason Nardella
When evaluating your relationship with any financial advisor, certain patterns deserve attention. In Jason Nardella’s case, investors should be aware of:
1. Pattern of Complaints: Multiple investor complaints over different time periods suggest ongoing issues that extend beyond isolated incidents.
2. Unauthorized Trading Allegations: The recent complaint about selling stocks without permission represents one of the most serious violations of investor trust. Your advisor should never execute trades without your explicit consent.
3. Unsuitable Investment History: The 2013 REIT complaint that resulted in a $60,000 settlement indicates past issues with investment suitability—a fundamental responsibility of any financial advisor.
4. High Dollar Amounts: The significant damages sought in the pending complaint suggest substantial investor losses, which could indicate serious breaches of fiduciary duty.
