Mohammed Anayet Karim FINRA Bar | Truist Investment Services
FINRA has barred Mohammed Anayet Karim, a former registered representative with Truist Investment Services in Davenport, Florida, from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity. The bar, issued through a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) dated May 11, 2026, followed Karim’s refusal to appear for on-the-record testimony requested by FINRA. Investors who worked with Karim and have questions about their accounts can learn more about their rights from a FINRA arbitration attorney at The White Law Group.
What the AWC Says
According to the AWC, FINRA’s investigation was opened after Truist Investment Services filed a Form U5 disclosing that Karim’s (CRD #4419277) employment had been terminated for violating the firm’s Code of Ethics in connection with his involvement in interactions concerning former clients. FINRA requested that Karim appear for on-the-record testimony to address the allegations in the Form U5, and Karim refused to appear.
Under FINRA Rule 8210, associated persons must provide testimony and information requested during a FINRA investigation, and a refusal to do so independently supports a bar regardless of whether the underlying conduct is ever proven. Without admitting or denying FINRA’s findings, Karim consented to the sanction and to the entry of findings. The specific nature of Karim’s interactions with former clients, as referenced in the Form U5, has not been independently verified by FINRA and remains an allegation rather than an adjudicated finding.
