Nationwide securities fraud attorneys at Stoltmann Law Offices, P.C. filed a FINRA dispute on behalf of an investor who alleged she was solicited by her financial advisor to invest her IRA money in the GPB Capital Automotive Fund, L.P. The claim alleges that the firm:

1. Failed to perform adequate due diligence in the GPB Automotive Fund and ignored red flags about the offering so they could receive 10% commission on the investment;
2. Ignored the objectives, risk tolerance, and financial acumen of the investor by concentrating nearly 90% of her IRA in the GPB Automotive Fund;
3. Failed to adequately supervise the conduct of this financial advisor, who had over twenty customer complaints prior to these solicitations; and
4. Sold the investments based on misrepresentations and omissions in violation of state securities laws and consumer protection statutes.

Finra Rule 2011

Joe Wojciechowski, Stoltmann Law Offices attorney, stated, “Brokerage firms have an iron-clad responsibility, rooted in FINRA Rule 2111, the ‘suitability rule’, to perform due diligence on a private placement like GPB Automotive Fund. This is a gatekeeper function designed to ensure a private placement is suitable for at least some investors.

Our investigation reveals that brokerage firms regularly ‘check the boxes’ in the due diligence process because of the conflict of interest between the firm and their clients: if the firm rejects the offering, they can’t collect their 10% commission.”
