The Peiffer Rosca Wolf securities lawyers are currently investigating Elaine LaCerte‘s alleged unsuitable short-term trading of unit investment trusts (UIT’s).
Elaine LaCerte was registered as a General Securities Representative with Morgan Stanley from June 2009 to August 2016, and her alleged unsuitable short-term trading of unit investment trusts (UIT’s) purportedly involved 107 customer accounts, the AWC notes. LaCerte then allegedly made purchases of new, different UITs, the AWC notes.
FINRA alleges this purported system to be unsuitable in view of the alleged frequency and costs of trading, the AWC reports. LaCerte’s recommendations caused the customers to incur unnecessary sales charges, and were unsuitable in view of the frequency and cost of the transactions, the AWC states.
The majority of the UlTs that LaCerte allegedly recommended had maturity dates of at least 24 months and carried sales charges ranging from 1.95% to 3.95%, and the average holding period for the UITs purchased in these customers’ accounts was less than 300 days, the AWC reports.
Elaine LaCerte Suspended Six Months and Fined $5,000 by FINRA
Elaine LaCerte, based on the alleged foregoing behavior, allegedly violated NASD and FINRA Rules, and hence has been suspended six months and fined $5,000, according to the aforementioned AWC currently under review by attorneys Alan Rosca and James Booker.
LaCerte also has worked at branch offices in Colorado Springs, Colorado. LaCerte has allegedly been the subject of at least five customer complaints, at least three of which allegedly involved complaints about Unit Investment Trusts, the AWC notes.
One should also note that, according to the AWC, Elaine LaCerte neither admitted nor denied the FINRA findings.
