A pending investor complaint alleges former Raymond James & Associates representative Brian Visconti (CRD# 5851551) made improper investment recommendations. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that the Tampa, Florida broker and financial advisor is now registered with The Jeffrey Matthews Financial Group

Mr. Visconti’s BrokerCheck report discloses one pending investor complaint against him. Filed in 2022, it alleges that as a representative of Raymond James & Associates, he “improperly recommended investing in only a handful of technology sector equities.” For reference, FINRA has warned investors to be cautious about the risks of over-concentrating their investments in a particular market segment or asset class, which may expose their portfolio to “amplified risks.” The pending complaint alleges damages of $200,000.

In February 2022, Raymond James & Associates terminated Mr. Visconti. According to a disclosure on his BrokerCheck report, his firing was in relation to allegations he “failed to follow firm policies and procedures and made inconsistent statements to management regarding outside securities account.”
