Jon Murdock: Ex-Edward Jones Advisor Had Investor Complaint

Former Edward Jones broker Jon Murdock (CRD# 6435392) recently received an investor complaint alleging he provided misleading assurances. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and Securities and Exchange Commission records show that he is currently an investment advisor with Hohimer Wealth Management in Seattle, Washington.

Mr. Murdock’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in June 2022, it alleged that as a representative of Edward D. Jones & Company, he provided assurances that the customer’s money would be protected from downside risk, though the customer experienced market losses in their self-directed, fee-based account. The complaint alleged damages of $45,000 and was denied by the firm. (A complaint’s denial by the firm that receives it does not necessarily mean the complaint was groundless, for reference: investors can still pursue damages through other forums, like FINRA arbitration claims.)

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Jon Murdock holds seven years of securities industry experience. Based in Seattle, Washington, he has been an investment advisor with Hohimer Wealth Management since May 2022. He was previously registered with Edward Jones in Covington, Kentucky from 2015 until 2022. His credentials include the passage of three securities industry qualifying exams: the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7; the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, or Series 66; and the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE. He is licensed as an investment advisor in Washington. He has not been registered as a broker since his departure from Edward Jones in April 2022. (Information current as of September 26, 2022.)
