Regulator Bar Jeffrey Perryman after Allegations of Undisclosed OBAs

According to public records on October 7th, 2024, The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has reportedly barred financial advisor Jeffrey Perryman from working in the securities industry.

Without admitting or denying the findings, Perryman reportedly refused to provide information and documents requested by FINRA in connection with its investigation into his potential undisclosed Outside Business Activities, including allegations of charging fees to a customer for services that he failed to disclose to his member firm.

Outside Business Activities

FINRA rule 3270 requires that registered representatives disclose any Outside Business Activities (OBAs) that they engage in. Why should you care if your broker is involved in an OBA?

The rule is designed to protect investors by ensuring that registered individuals do not engage in activities that may compromise their professional responsibilities, cause conflicts of interest, or divert their attention from their primary duties to their clients.

The FINRA BrokerCheck tool is a free online tool that allows investors to research and verify the background and credentials of financial brokers, brokerage firms, and investment advisors registered with FINRA.

Investors can use the tool to verify whether a broker or brokerage firm is registered with FINRA, as well as to review their employment history, licensing status, and any regulatory actions or complaints filed against them.

Regulation Best Interest

Under the “Regulation best interest” standard, broker-dealers are obligated to perform due diligence when evaluating any investment.  If your financial advisor fails to perform due diligence on an investment before recommending it to you, they could be held liable for investment losses.

If your advisor unsuitably recommended an investment offering and you lost money, the securities attorneys at The White Law Group may be able to file a complaint for you. You may be able to recover losses by filing a FINRA Arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.
