Investor Claims Against Merrill Lynch Broker Alexandre Maltez
Investor Claims Against Merrill Lynch Broker Alexandre Maltez
According to BrokerCheck, Alexandre Maltez (CRD #6506116), currently registered with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, and formerly with NewBridge Financial Services Group, Inc., has or has had three customer disputes.
In a settled FINRA dispute, allegations included suitability concerns, breach of fiduciary duty, failure to supervise, breach of contract, fraud, and violation of FINRA Rule 2210, which governs communications with the public. The complaint was centered on alternative investment products. The case was ultimately settled for $30,000, with Maltez personally contributing $20,000 of the total settlement.
Two additional FINRA disputes, filed in October of 2024 and February of 2025, are currently pending. In both cases, customers allege that Maltez breached fiduciary duty, acted negligently, and violated Regulation Best Interest (Reg BI), a series of SEC rules requiring broker-dealers and associated persons to act in the best interest of retail customers when making investment recommendations, as described by FINRA. Both disputes involve alternative investment products from the now-bankrupt GWG Holdings, Inc. The customers are seeking damages of $120,000 and $50,000, respectively.
