FINRA censured and fined $15,000 Ustocktrade Securities, Inc. (CRD #16208) from Newton, Massachusetts for failing to maintain adequate balances in its special reserve bank account for the exclusive benefit of customers. Moreover, the firm calculated the amount required to be maintained in its special reserve account based on payments of cash to its clearing firm that were not timely made, resulting in special reserve account deficiencies ranging between $2,315 and $204,494.

Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses

When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm and suffered losses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. FINRA law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
