Allen Short (CRD #5279302) affiliated with Morgan Stanley in St. Paul, Minnesota since 2020. His professional journey, starting in the securities industry with Wells Fargo and spanning multiple major firms, suggests an experienced broker yet one not without issues. His experience across 6 U.S. states and four self-regulatory organizations (SROs) shows a broad scope of operation. However, his industry exams include only two general industry/product exams and one multi-state securities law exam. Short’s career is marked by a significant customer dispute which was settled, casting doubt on his adherence to ethical financial practices.

Allen Short Customer Complaint and Reviews
Settled Customer Dispute (2023): Short faced allegations related to a diversification strategy for concentrated stock positions, which the client claimed was misrepresented concerning the tax consequences.

This dispute reflects negatively on his transparency and the clarity of his investment strategies.
Allegations Against Allen Short
- Misrepresentation: The central allegation against Short involved the misrepresentation of an investment strategy’s tax implications. This could indicate a lack of clear communication or misunderstanding of tax laws related to investment activities.
- Financial Settlement: The settlement of the dispute, while resolving the complaint, does not eliminate the potential lasting impact on Short’s professional reputation, as it suggests a resolution was necessary due to the gravity of the client’s claims.
