A Look At Ronald Smith's BrokerCheck

The regulatory action alleged that Smith failed to provide information and documents requested by FINRA in connection with its investigation into potential excessive trading customer accounts at his member firm. As a result, Smith has been permanently barred.
Additionally, one settled customer dispute alleged breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, failure to supervise, failure to recommend suitable investments, failure to act in client's best interest, unauthorized trading, misrepresentation and omission of facts.
