Broker Donald Aulbert Faces Allegations of Unsuitable Investments

Donald Aulbert, a broker and investment advisor employed with LPL Financial in Missouri, is facing  allegations from a customer regarding the suitability of alternative investments he recommended to the client. The customer dispute, filed on March 19, 2024, claims that these investments were not suitable and that the account value has gone down over recent years. 

The main issue in this case is the allegation that Aulbert recommended unsuitable alternative investments to his client. This could be a violation of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Rule 2111. This rule says that brokers and investment advisors must have a good reason to believe that their recommendations are suitable for their clients. They need to consider factors like the client’s financial situation, risk tolerance, and investment goals. The allegation suggests that Aulbert may not have followed this rule, which could have exposed his client to unnecessary risk and financial harm.
