According to
FINRA BrokerCheck, allegations of Pumarada’s sales practice violations are
referenced in four previous consumer-initiated, investment-related disputes. The
first one was a complaint filed by a Salomon Smith Barney customer on February
6, 2001, alleging that the customer’s instructions concerning options
investments had not been followed. The customer also alleged that unauthorized options
had been purchased for the customer’s account. Salomon Smith Barney denied the
complaint on February 6, 2001.
Then, a Merrill
Lynch customer filed an arbitration on June 25, 2014, alleging that unsuitable
investment recommendations were made concerning the customer’s investments in
municipal debt and closed-end funds. Moreover, the customer claimed that there
were misrepresentations and omissions of information relating to her
investments. Merrill Lynch settled the customer’s complaint for $15,000.00 on
March 22, 2016. (Case #: 14-01828)
On September 22,
2015, another customer of Merrill Lynch brought an arbitration alleging
omissions and misrepresentations of facts between October 2009 and September
2015 concerning municipal debt and closed-end funds. The customer claimed to
have received unsuitable investment recommendations. The arbitration was
settled on February 23, 2018 for $50,000.00.
