Key Takeaways: Red Flags & What Investors Should Watch For
- Prior Complaints: Even a single customer complaint involving suitability can be an important red flag, especially if it concerns the advisor’s judgment around matching investments to client risk profiles and financial goals.
- Firm Changes: Advisors who transition between multiple firms—particularly industry leaders—warrant further review to ensure that the moves were professionally motivated, not related to client or regulatory issues.
- Registration Status: The transition from traditional broker-dealer registration to solely a registered investment advisor model can affect how your investments are managed and your investor protections. If you previously worked with Mr. Hyre under a broker-dealer, your avenues for dispute resolution may differ today.
Why Should Investors Care?
For anyone with current or prior investments handled by Mr. Hyre at Mariner Wealth or a former employer such as Raymond James Financial Services, it’s critical to understand exactly how your interests were represented. The presence of even a single customer complaint—especially if it led to a monetary settlement—should encourage investors to proactively double-check their investment history, account statements, and any advice previously received.
