Merrill Lynch (CRD#: 7691/SEC#: 801–14235, 8–7221) is a prominent brokerage firm and investment advisor firm. Many current and former UPS employees are invested with Merrill Lynch.

Recently, a former long-term employee of UPS filed a complaint against the brokerage firm alleging that one of its financial advisors caused approximately $500,000 in investment losses through an unsuitable trading strategy.

FINRA Arbitration Claim: Unsuitable Call Writing Strategy

According to the FINRA arbitration claim, the investor alleges that a Merrill Lynch advisor pursued an unsuitable call writing strategy. The claimant — who worked at UPS for nearly 40 years and accumulated more than 30,000 shares of company stock — contends that the advisor recommended a complicated investment strategy that would supposedly produce additional present income.

However, the claim states that this strategy was improperly implemented and too risky for the investor’s objectives. As a result, he lost thousands of shares of his UPS stock and the related dividend payments. If you are a current or former UPS worker, and you have found yourself in a similar situation, you should contact an unsuitable investments lawyer immediately.
