From June 2009 until Nick Pietrocola’s firing in July 2012, Nick Pietrocola was licensed with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney. Nick Pietrocola is now licensed with Ameriprise Financial Services, Inc. According to FINRA’s records, Nick Pietrocola was fired by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney on June 27, 2012. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney reported to FINRA that Nick Pietrocola’s firing related to alleged concerns regarding Nick Pietrocola’s handling of a customer complaint regarding annuity transaction, including timeliness of Nick Pietrocola’s report of complaint to firm management.

Subsequent to Nick Pietrocola’s firing by Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, FINRA investigated Nick Pietrocola and brought a disciplinary action against Nick Pietrocola. Nick Pietrocola was fined $5,000 and suspended 20 days from the securities and investment banking industry on December 16, 2013. FINRA reports that Nick Pietrocola provided misleading information to a customer relating to account allocations in his variable annuity. Specifically, FINRA reports that Nick Pietrocola made certain representations to the customer regarding steps he had taken to address the customer’s concerns relating to the manner in which the assets held in his variable annuity had been allocated. FINRA reports that Nick Pietrocola however, had not actually taken these steps and the information Nick Pietrocola relayed to the customer was false.

FINRA also reports that Nick Pietrocola consented to a $500 fine by The Ohio Department of Insurance for Nick Pietrocola’s failure to timely report the FINRA suspension to insurance regulator.
