Did Robert Stein Cause You Investment Losses? Robert Stein, a registered representative with Capitol Securities Management, Inc., submitted an AWC to FINRA for making unsuitable reverse convertible note (RCN) recommendations and purchases in the accounts of eight customers. FINRA found that Robert Gerald Stein of Sudbury, MA, recommended and effected 24 purchases of RCNs in 8 customer accounts. The customers were primarily over 60 years old and had conservative investment objectives. According to FINRA, Mr. Stein’s recommendations and purchases totaled approximately $4 million in the 8 customers’ accounts. Moreover, all of the accounts were heavily concentrated in RCNs, constituting a substantial portion of their net worth. Mr. Stein’s recommendations were unsuitable for his customers in light of their investment goals, ages, and net worth. Consequently, he was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for three months. Do You Need a Failure to Diversify Securities Attorney?
