- W2886468312 abstract "No uniform national standard exists today requiring brokerage firms to put their clients’ interests first by avoiding making profits from conflicted advice. Since the passage of the Dodd Frank Act, inaction by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on a fiduciary standard has cost American investors nearly $80 billion, based on estimated losses of $17 billion per year. There is a compelling case to be made for a ban on conflicted advice in order to protect investors. In the absence of such a standard, brokerage firms now engage in advertising that is clearly calculated to leave the false impression with investors that stockbrokers are fiduciaries. But, while brokerage firms advertise as though they are trusted guardians of their clients’ best interests, they deny any such duty exists when they arbitrate any resulting disputes. The Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association (PIABA) reviewed the advertising and arbitration stances of nine major brokerage firms – Merrill Lynch, Fidelity Investments, Ameriprise, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, Allstate Financial, UBS, Berthel Fisher, and Charles Schwab. This paper describes the findings of the review. The paper concludes that all nine firms advertise in a fashion that is designed to lull investors into the belief that they are being offered the services of a fiduciary. For example, Merrill Lynch advertises as follows: “It’s time for a financial strategy that puts your needs and priorities front and center.” Fidelity Investments appeals to investors with these words: “Acting in good faith and taking pride in getting things just right. The personal commitment each of us makes to go the extra mile for our customers and put their interests before our own is a big part of what has always made Fidelity a special place to work and do business.” Nonetheless, all nine brokerage firms using the fiduciary-like appeals in their ads eschew any such responsibility when it comes to battling investor claims in arbitration. Adding to the confusion is the fact that five of the eight brokerage firms – Ameriprise, Merrill Lynch, Fidelity, Wells Fargo, and Charles Schwab – have publicly stated that they support a fiduciary standard. But these firms are every bit as vociferous as the other four brokerages in denying that they have any fiduciary obligation in arbitration cases filed by investors who have lost some or all of their nest egg due to conflicted advice." @default.
