The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.

According to FINRA recordsTimothy V. Longo has been registered with American Capital Partners  since 8/2015. Prior to that he was registered with Trident Partners, Ltd. from 1/2006-8/2015.

FINRA records disclose that Longo is currently named in two customer disputes and there have been 7 prior customer disputes that have been resolved. Several of the disputes  involve exchange traded note sales to customers while he was registered with Trident Partners. In those cases the customers allege that the sale of the exchange traded notes was unsuitable in regards to the customer’s risk tolerance and investment objectives.

In 2006 the New York Stock Exchange sanctioned Longo with a censure and a 4 month suspension to resolve allegations that he engaged in conduct inconsistent with just and equitable principles of trade.

Prior customer disputes that have been resolved include:

  • FINRA Case 17-1370 a customer of Trident Partners/American Capital alleged that unsuitable trades were made in his account and sought damages of $150,000. The case was settled for $43,000.
  • In 9/2013 a customer of Trident Partners alleged poor performance from July 2011-2013 and sought damages of $100,000. The case settled for $70,000.

In a currently pending matter a customer of Trident Partners alleges unauthorized trading in VXX Exchange Traded Notes, an investment the customer alleges was unsuitable in light of the customer’s investment objectives and risk tolerance. Damages of $34,405 are sought.
