Customer Complaints and History

Understanding an advisor’s past legal and regulatory concerns helps you make informed decisions about your investments. Below is a complete list of current and past investor complaints filed against William Grundig, along with the related outcomes:

  • Pending FINRA Arbitration (2025) – Case No. 25-01455

    In July 2025, a customer of Commonwealth Financial Network filed a claim in FINRA arbitration alleging unsuitable investment recommendations regarding stocks within their portfolio. The specific dollar amount of damages claimed has not yet been specified. As of this writing, this dispute remains active and unresolved.
  • NASD Case No. 97-04353 (Settled 1998)

    While at The J.B. Sutton Group, the customer alleged unauthorized trading, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The matter was settled with a payment of $35,000 to the customer.
  • NASD Arbitration No. 99-05196 (Settled 2001)

    Another customer at the same firm raised concerns regarding unsuitable recommendations in over-the-counter (OTC) equities. This complaint was also settled, with a payout of $20,000 to the client.

Types of Allegations Explained

  • Unsuitable Investment Recommendations: Advisors have a duty to recommend products and strategies aligned with a client’s goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Unsuitable advice can result in preventable losses.
  • Unauthorized Trading: This occurs when securities are traded without a client’s prior consent or authorization, violating both firm policies and regulatory standards. FINRA Rule 3260 sets out specific requirements for discretionary trading authority.
  • Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Advisors are obligated to act in their clients’ best interests at all times. Breaches include neglecting duties of care, loyalty, or good faith, potentially causing economic harm.
  • Breach of Contract: This involves a failure to uphold the terms agreed upon in investment account documents, which may include improper handling of account assets or execution of non-agreed trades.

What These Complaints Mean for Investors

For investors, the presence of multiple customer disputes—some involving settlements in the tens of thousands—serves as a signal to carefully review their own accounts and experiences. Past settlements and open cases suggest that some clients might not have received advice or service consistent with regulatory expectations.

Common red flags for investors to watch for include:

  • Unexplained losses or unexpected investments in your account
  • Trades made without your express consent
  • Recommendations that do not align with your financial goals or risk comfort
  • Poor communication or reluctance to provide thorough documentation
