Charles Anderson – Charles Matthew Anderson, Financial Advisor Suspended from Securities Industry | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A., May Recover Investor Losses
Charles Anderson CRD #1494859
Charles Anderson was formerly licensed with Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments and Morgan Stanley. FINRA reports that Charles Anderson was suspended from the securities industry for four months in December 2017.
According to FINRA: Charles Anderson consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that Charles Anderson engaged in an unsuitable pattern of short-term trading of Unit Investment Trusts (UITs) in customers’ accounts. The findings stated that in connection with the customers’ accounts, Charles Anderson repeatedly recommended that the customers purchase UITs and then sell these products well before their maturity dates. The majority of the UITs that Charles Anderson recommended had maturity dates of at least 24 months and carried sales charges ranging from 1.95 percent to 3.95 percent. Nevertheless, Charles Anderson repeatedly recommended that his customers sell their UIT positions less than a year after purchase. Indeed, the average holding period for the UITs purchased in these customers’ accounts was 202 days. In addition, on 26 occasions, Charles Anderson recommended that his customers use the proceeds from the short-term sale of a UIT to purchase another UIT with identical investment objectives. Charles Anderson’s recommendations caused the customers to incur unnecessary sales charges and were unsuitable in view of the frequency and cost of the transactions.
