www.finra.org/brokercheck User Guidance
Broker Statement [Customer] was a client of [Third Party], [Third Party] and myself. Our relationshipstarted in May 2014 as I started at HJ Sims. When we started at HJS she hadbonds in her account purchased by others and had already signed a marginagreement. She wanted to sell the bonds she owned as she was looking for moreincome and thus we presented a strategy that created income. At that meeting, herex-husband, [Third Party], attended and took a leading role in explaining to fruitionthe difference between bonds and the strategy proposed. She also expressed thatshe would use the income monthly. At that meeting they both agreed that thiswould be a good choice for her.
After a while, she started to ask for monies other than the current income to pay foradditional bills that she had not foreseen. On one of our quarterly meetings, Iasked her to explain the need for additional distributions and thus she explainedthat now she needed to start paying for her son's college tuition as her ex-husband, who apparently lost most of his money playing the treasury markets,could not afford to keep paying his sons college. After going through her account, Iexplained of the possibility that she could borrow against her account, through themargin agreement that she has signed, and that the account would still be makingenough income to cover the debit balance. After analyzing, she proceeded to askfor withdrawals on margin. However she started to take out more than originallyanticipated thus creating a negative debit balance. After multiple meetings andconversations, she told me that she was selling her business and that the profitswould be put back to the account, something that never happened as she confidedthe fact that she was considering the purchase of some real estate with thosemonies.
I understood that she accessed the account continuously and knew the values ofher position on an ongoing basis. I also understand she had other monies outsideher account at HJ Sims.
