Theft

Theft occurs when a broker takes money from clients' personal accounts for the broker's personal use without knowledge of the client. While the securities industry is highly regulated, by both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), theft and fraud still occur. Many types of fraud and theft have been reported by the NASD. These may include, but are not limited to, transactions in discretionary accounts in excess of that approved by a client, unauthorized transactions or unauthorized borrowing or use of a client's assets.
