Dawson James Securities Named in Bad Broker Study
by David Liebrader
Dawson James Securities was named as a broker dealer that employs a large percentage of registered reps with publicly disclosable incidents.
A study commissioned by Reuters with the assistance of Columbia University Law School identified nearly fifty FINRA registered broker dealers where a large percentage of its brokers had “red flags” on their public disclosures. FINRA requires broker dealers like Dawson James Securities, as well as its registered representatives to update their industry record by disclosing information that could be of interest to potential and current customers and members of the public.
These red flags include customer disputes, arbitration claims, regulatory actions taken by FINRA, the SEC or state regulators, civil actions, bankruptcies and terminations after allegations of wrongdoing.
The study sought to identify firms who welcomed or tolerated brokers with these types of disclosures. The source of the data is FINRA’s own broker check database, which maintains licensing information, employment history and disclosable information. While broker check is searchable, the information is not available wholesale, making the kind of study undertaken more time consuming. Reuters, with the assistance of Columbia University Law School painstakingly compiled the data by identifying broker dealers with at least 20 registered reps, and then searched for reps with publicly disclosable red flags. To make it on the list, the broker dealer had to have at least thirty percent of its brokers with one or more red flags. Dawson James Securities was identified as having fifty one brokers working for the firm, with forty nine percent having publicly disclosable information.
Reuters reached out to Dawson James Securities for comment but received no response.
