The Allegations
- In December 2008, a customer alleged that Timothy Hobbs made material misrepresentations about a purchased annuity policy. This case was settled for $20,000 in damages.
- In February 2014, a customer alleged that Timothy Hobbs recommended unsuitable investments and breached his fiduciary duty. This case was settled for $82,000 in damages.
Fiduciary Duty
The relationship between investors and securities brokers exists on a foundation of trust. The reason that investors can generally feel secure in trusting their broker is because they are aware that brokers are obligated to always act in their customers’ best financial interests. This obligation is also known as the broker’s fiduciary duty. Brokers who breach this duty work toward the erosion of that trust, which in turn can significantly damage the broker/investor relationship.
