Nicholas Bedlan of Creative Planning Reviews

DID NICHOLAS JAMES BEDLAN CAUSE YOU INVESTMENT LOSSES? Nicholas Bedlan Customer Complaints and Reviews David Altimont’s record contains one disclosed termination: Allegations Against Nicholas Bedlan Nicholas Bedlan Employment History and Licenses Investment Advisors Owe Clients The Highest Level Of Care Investment advisors have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of their clients, placing the client’s interests above their own. This includes providing full disclosure about nature, mechanics, and risks of any recommended investment strategies or activities. Advisors must ensure that clients understand the potential outcomes, costs, and risks associated with investments, enabling them to make informed decisions. The duty of care requires advisors to exercise skill, diligence, and prudence in managing client portfolios, ensuring that recommendations are suitable for each client’s specific financial goals, risk tolerance, and circumstances. This fiduciary responsibility is essential in maintaining trust and ensuring the advisor’s decisions prioritize the client’s needs. Option Trading Can Be Extremely Risky Option trading can be highly risky, particularly when it involves complex strategies or high leverage. Options give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell an underlying asset at a predetermined price within a set period. While options can be used to hedge risks, they can also amplify losses, especially for inexperienced investors. Investment advisors who engage in options trading on behalf of clients must carefully consider the client’s risk tolerance and ensure they fully understand the potential outcomes. More risky options strategies, such as naked calls or puts, involve selling options without holding the underlying asset. This exposes the investor to unlimited losses if the market moves unfavorably. For example, in a naked call strategy, an advisor sells a call option without owning the underlying stock. If the stock price rises significantly, the client could face substantial losses, as they would be obligated to buy the stock at a much higher price. Due to these risks, it’s crucial for advisors to fully explain the strategy and its potential consequences before engaging in such transactions. Nicholas Bedlan Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor Of course, Nicholas Bedlan did not admit to any of the allegations. But regardless of whether an arbitration award was entered, a settlement occurred, or the customer complaint is still pending, the allegations made by customers are red flags which should put all current and former customers of Creative Planning on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Nicholas Bedlan has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses.
