Jennifer Hwang: Advisor Fired by LPL Financial

Former Wayne, New Jersey financial advisor Jennifer Hwang (CRD# 3091599) was recently terminated from her former member firm in connection with alleged rule violations. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that she was previously registered as a broker and an investment advisor with LPL Financial.

Ms. Hwang’s BrokerCheck report discloses her termination from LPL Financial. Filed in December 2024, the disclosure states that the firm fired her in connection with allegations that she “accessed outside investment accounts using the login credentials of her former clients and participated in account activity in those outside accounts.”

FINRA Rule 2010 stipulates that brokers associated with FINRA must “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade.” A number of forms of unethical conduct, including the improper accessing of former clients’ outside accounts, may be considered violations of FINRA Rule 2010, provided the alleged activities occur “in the conduct of [the member’s] business.” Brokers who fail to uphold FINRA Rule 2010 may be held liable for losses.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Jennifer Hwang holds 11 years of securities industry experience. Most recently based in Wayne, New Jersey, she was registered as a broker and an investment advisor with LPL Financial from 2022 until 2025. She was previously registered with PFS Investments in Saddle Brook, New Jersey from 2013 until 2022. Her credentials include the passage of five securities industry qualifying exams: the Investment Company Products/Variable Contracts Principal Examination, or Series 26; the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Investment Company Products/Variable Contracts Representative Examination, or Series 6; the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, or Series 65; and the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, or Series 63. Since her firing from LPL Financial in December 2024, she has not registered with any broker-dealer firm. (Information current as of April 5, 2025.)
