- Changes in communication: If you invested with Wood at Moloney Securities and received unusual communications or updates, this can signal underlying issues.
- Transfers or account changes: If you were asked to transfer accounts or received advice after 2025 when Mr. Wood is no longer registered, consult a professional about your situation.
How Investors Can Protect Themselves
Even if your broker’s record appears clear, you should always be diligent when investing. Here are a few proactive steps you can take:
- Request a copy of your account statements and transaction history.
- Be wary of anyone offering to act as a financial advisor who is not actively registered with FINRA or any state authority.
- Ask for confirmations of all trades and ensure transactions match your records and instructions.
- Check for unauthorized, high-commission, or illiquid investments in your account.
