Robert Estevez Allegedly Recommended Unsuitable Steepener Transactions in Customer Accounts
Robert Estevez allegedly recommended unsuitable steepener transactions in customer accounts, according to a recent FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC).
Steepener accounts involve highly leveraged purchases of short-term bonds and bearish bets on long-term bonds with the hope that the difference between the yields on short-term and long-term bonds will widen and produce profits.
The Peiffer Rosca Wolf securities lawyers are currently investigating Robert Estevez’s alleged recommended unsuitable steepener transactions.
Robert Estevez Suspended and Fined $20,000 by FINRA for Allegedly Recommending Unsuitable Steepener Transactions
Robert Estevez, from May 2011 through Sept 2012, allegedly recommended 25 short-term steepener transactions for 19 customers, according to the aforementioned AWC currently under review by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.
Estevez allegedly recommended the aforementioned products as part of a so-called active, short-term trading strategy, the AWC notes. This alleged short-term trading strategy was deemed unsuitable by FINRA, and purportedly resulted in an aggregate of about $24,000 in customer losses, the AWC further alleges.
