Melissa Dixon: $591K Complaint Against Ex-LPL Advisor

A recent investor complaint against Fort Collins, Colorado financial advisor Melissa Dixon (CRD# 5193232) alleges that her conduct resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that she is registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Cambridge Investment Research, doing business as JBA Wealth Management.

Ms. Dixon’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in February 2026, it alleges that as a representative of LPL Financial, she failed to disclose that an asset liquidation would result in a taxable event. The pending complaint alleges damages of $591,000.

Investors should be aware that FINRA rules forbid brokers from misrepresenting or omitting material facts relating to the investments and strategies they recommend to their clients. FINRA Rule 2020 states specifically that no broker shall “effect any transaction in, or induce the purchase or sale of, any security by means of any manipulative, deceptive or other fraudulent device or contrivance.” may also violate FINRA Rule 2010, which stipulates that brokers like Ms. Dixon must “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade” in the conduct of their business. Brokers who violate these rules may be held liable for damages in the event of losses.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Melissa Dixon holds 19 years of securities industry experience. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, she has been registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Cambridge Investment Research since April 2026, doing business as JBA Wealth Management. Her past registrations include LPL financial, Securities America, Country Capital Management Company, QA3 Financial Corporation, and MML Investors Services. Her credentials include the passage of three securities industry qualifying exams: the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, or Series 66; and the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7. She holds 42 state licenses. (Information current as of May 4, 2026.)
