Daniel Raupp, a broker currently registered with CONCORDE INVESTMENT SERVICES, LLC, is under investigation following a client’s allegation of non-disclosure regarding the nature of an investment made in 2021. The claim, which is still pending as of September 6, 2023, alleges that the client was unaware that the investment was tied to the construction sector. This case, bearing the FINRA CRD number 4079107, is serious and warrants a closer look.
Understanding the Allegation and the FINRA Rule

The allegation against Mr. Raupp involves the claim that he failed to fully disclose the nature of an investment. In simpler terms, the client asserts that he was not made aware that his investment was tied to the construction sector. This could potentially be a breach of FINRA Rule 2111, which requires brokers to have a reasonable basis to believe that a recommended transaction or investment strategy is suitable for the customer.
While the U4 filing was triggered due to certain language used in communications, it is important to note that the client has stated he is upset with the product company and not necessarily the representative. Nevertheless, the investigation is ongoing.
The Importance of This Case for Investors
This case is significant for investors as it underscores the importance of full disclosure by brokers. Investors need to be fully informed about the nature of their investments, including the sectors they are tied to. This is crucial for understanding the risks involved and making informed decisions.
Investors should be able to trust their brokers to provide all necessary information. Any breach of this trust could potentially result in financial losses and can undermine investor confidence in the financial system.
Red Flags and Recovery of Losses
Investors should be vigilant for red flags that may indicate financial advisor malpractice. These could include a lack of transparency, inconsistent information, or a failure to fully explain the risks associated with specific investments. If you notice any such signs, it may be advisable to seek legal advice.
