BrokerCheck shows 18 disclosures as of July 2026: 16 regulatory, 2 arbitration, 0 civil. Letter grade F (1/5 internal scoring). Verify on FINRA BrokerCheck ↗ · how disclosures are interpreted.
Every firm registered with FINRA or the SEC must report regulatory actions, customer complaints, arbitrations, and civil judicial events on its public BrokerCheck and Form ADV records. A disclosure is not automatically a finding of wrongdoing, it can range from a settled customer dispute to a formal regulatory sanction, but a heavy disclosure load relative to a firm's size is a signal worth examining before you hire. Because larger firms naturally accumulate more disclosures across more offices, PlainAdvisorCheck grades each firm against same-size peers rather than on raw counts. Read each disclosure's underlying detail on the official record rather than relying on the headline number alone. Registration itself confirms only that a firm is authorized to do business, not that its compliance history is clean.
