What Is Selling Away?

According to FindLaw:  “Selling away is generally prohibited because of its susceptibility to fraud, deception, and increased risk to investors. One danger is that an investor will mistakenly believe that an outside investment is endorsed by the broker’s firm, lending the investment a false sense of legitimacy and security. Additionally, since the firm is not supervising the sale according to certain rules, investors are more at risk for losing their money. It’s important to do some research before making any investment decisions.”

Scott Wayne Reed allegedly recommended and facilitated investments to customers of Wells Fargo Advisors that were not offered or approved.
