FINRA, the primary regulator of U.S. brokerages, requires brokers to disclose incidents in their past that might give investors concern. Reuters analyzed the most serious of those incidents to identify firms with high concentrations of brokers with such FINRA flags, which include regulatory sanctions, civil judgments, personal bankruptcies and broker terminations after allegations of misconduct. At least 30 percent of brokers at the 48 firms listed below have a history of such FINRA-mandated disclosures. See full methodology here.
