SSEK Investigating David Fagenson, A Former UBS Brokerage Investment Advisor 

If you are an investor who worked with former UBS broker, David Fagenson, and suffered substantial losses or suspect you may have been charged excessive fees and commissions, please contact our broker fraud lawyers at Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas, LLP (SSEK Law Firm) today. 

David Fagenson was suspended by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) last year after he allegedly engaged in unsuitable trading in the accounts of three senior investors ranging in age from their 70s to mid-90s. However, this is not the first fraud allegation in which Fagenson has been involved. 

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has suspended David Howard Fagenson, a former UBS Financial Services (UBS) broker, for eight months. Fagenson, now registered with Newbridge Securities, is accused of unsuitable trading in the accounts of three older clients.

The allegedly excessive trades are said to have created significant losses for the UBS customers, even as Fagenson and the brokerage firm made hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions and markups for the same transactions. The settlement between the self-regulatory authority (SRO) and the ex-UBS broker states that the trading violations took place between January 2012 and September 2016.

FINRA said that the senior investors that the ex-UBS broker harmed included a 95-year-old widow with an over $5M net worth who had numerous accounts at the firm. While her brokerage account purportedly lost $283K during the period at issue, she paid $260K in markups and commissions.
