Dewes formerly with Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc.? Gerald Dewes (CRD #2465538) who was formerly registered with Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc. and located in East Amherst, New York is a subject of one of our many securities industry sales practice abuse investigations. Prior to Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc., Gerald Dewes was associated with Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation and 6 other investment advisory and brokerage firms with a history of customer complaints and securities industry regulatory problems. On November 18, 2019, Gerald Dewes was discharged from employment at Caderet Grant & Co., Inc. for allegedly “selling away” from the firm by soliciting clients to invest in an unapproved and undisclosed outside business of which he was an officer and director and then allegedly converted his clients’ funds for his own use. Following the termination of Gerald Dewes, the FINRA commenced an investigation of his alleged participation in undisclosed private securities transactions, and outside business activities in violation of its rules. FINRA requested pursuant to Rule 8210 that Gerald Dewes appear and give on-the-record testimony in connection with its investigation. He refused and then entered into an Acceptance, Waiver & Consent (AWC) agreement whereby he was permanently barred from any further association with any FINRA member firm in any capacity in the future.

Broker Misconduct In his career, Gerald Dewes has been the subject of 5 customer complaints that we know about, the 3 of those complaints were filed in the last year to recover investment losses. One of Gerald Dewes’ 5 customer complaints was settled in favor of investors. Two of those complaints were denied by his employer, and to date, the investors have not taken any further action. There are currently 2 pending customer complaints filed against Gerald Dewes’ former employer Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc. for investment losses caused by his alleged misconduct.

Gerald Dewes Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor Of course, Gerald Dewes 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 Gerald Dewes at Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc. and Lincoln Financial Securities Corporation on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Gerald Dewes has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses. The large number of customer complaints at Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc. about Gerald Dewes also raises questions about its supervisory practices.
