The law firm of Oakes & Fosher is presently investigating the possible misconduct of securities broker Terance Power. According to his publicly available FINRA BrokerCheck report, Terance Power has been the subject of multiple complaints.
Terance Power is a California based securities broker. He has worked in the securities industry for nineteen years. During his career, he has been registered with three different securities firms.

- Morgan Stanley (1999-2001)
- UBS Financial Services (2001-2008)
- Merrill Lynch (2008-Present)
The Allegations

What Does This Mean?
One of the most noteworthy allegations levied against Terance Power was that he made material misrepresentations. This occurs when a securities broker provides an investor with falsified information regarding an investment. This can occur either through a broker’s fraudulent intent, or through their own negligence. Regardless of the broker’s intent, misrepresentation is a very serious charge as it can cause investors to become invested in securities they are highly unsuited for.
