IAN DELIZ Give You Bad Advice?

Morgan Stanley Broker Ian Deliz Possibly Gave Unreasonable Advice To Clients Regarding Investments

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) reports alarming allegations of misconduct by securities broker Ian M. Deliz Morales (CRD#: 4697350, Tampa, Florida). Namely, an astounding 28 clients have filed lawsuits or complaints about the securities broker, who worked for Morgan Stanley in Tampa, Florida between July 2014 and October 2016. Namely, these investor disputes suggest that Deliz traded unsuitable securities including Puerto Rico bonds and closed end funds. Here’s more on those disputes and what you could do if you invested with the securities broker.

Morgan Stanley Client’s Lawsuit Indicates Ian Deliz Made Unsuitable Trades

Evidently, a client of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney brought a dispute about Ian Deliz on May 18, 2020. Mainly, the client suggested that Deliz sold bad Puerto Rico municipal bonds. It seems that Deliz failed to consider the client’s risk tolerance, investment objectives or some other aspect of the client’s investment profile when he advised the client to purchase the investments. The client purportedly invested in bad securities between August 2014 and May 2020. For this reason, the client demanded that Morgan Stanley or Deliz provide compensation. This matter awaits a resolution.

Deliz Purportedly Makes Unsuitable Puerto Rico Bond, Closed End Fund Trades

Apparently, Ian Deliz made unsuitable Puerto Rico municipal bond trades according to a claim filed by a second Morgan Stanley client. Specifically, the client filed FINRA Arbitration Claim #: 19-02923 on September 27, 2019. It seems that the client’s principal concern was Deliz’s purportedly unsuitable trading from August 2014 to September 2019. Supposedly, Deliz did not invest the client in securities that matched up with the client’s investment profile. For this reason, the client demanded $750,000 in damages in this pending matter.

Popular Securities Client Indicates Ian Deliz Gave Bad Advice

Moreover, a Popular Securities client brought FINRA Arbitration Claim #: 19-02347. Mainly, like the Morgan Stanley clients had alleged, this Popular Securities client indicated that investments in Puerto Rico securities did not make sense because of the risks. Namely, the client indicated that Ian Deliz knew or was cognizant that Puerto Rico’s financial condition was on shaky grounds, but he recommended the investments anyway. It appears that the government bonds and closed end funds that Deliz recommended had caused the client to experience losses. Because of this, the client seeks $525,000 in damages in this ongoing matter.

Deliz Supposedly Misrepresented Information About Bond Risks

Moreover, Ian Deliz discloses a Popular Securities client’s claim from January 22, 2019. In this dispute, the client seems to suggest that Deliz made misleading representations with regard to the risks of investments. Not only that, but Deliz supposedly initiated margin trading which might have increased losses. Apparently, Deliz overlooked the client’s “stated” risk tolerance in making recommendations. This resulted in an overconcentration in Puerto Rico bonds. For this reason, the client demanded that Deliz or Popular Securities pay $5,818,315 in damages. Evidently, this matter is awaiting a resolution.
