Chelsea Financial Services was named as a broker dealer that employs a large percentage of registered reps with publicly disclosable incidents.
A study commissioned by Reuters with the assistance of Columbia University Law School identified nearly fifty FINRA registered broker dealers where a large percentage of its brokers had “red flags” on their public disclosures. FINRA requires broker dealers like Chelsea Financial Services, as well as its registered representatives to update their industry record by disclosing information that could be of interest to potential and current customers and members of the public.
These red flags include customer disputes, arbitration claims, regulatory actions taken by FINRA, the SEC or state regulators, civil actions, bankruptcies and terminations after allegations of wrongdoing.
