Ryan Arnold: $400K Complaint Against LPL Advisor

Lake Mary, Florida financial advisor Ryan Arnold (CRD# 6876248) recently received an investor complaint alleging that his advice resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is registered as a broker and an investment advisor with LPL Financial, doing business as Ryan Arnold Wealth Management.

Mr. Arnold’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor compaint. Filed in January 2026, it alleges that as a representative of LPL Financial, he recommended investments in “non-transparent, non-traded, complex products” that were not in the customers’ best interests, and further that he failed to properly advise the customers about the “potential tax consequences on the rollover of an annuity.” The pending complaint alleges damages of $400,000.

For reference, the SEC’s “Regulation Best Interest” is a standard of conduct that requires brokers to recommend only investments and strategies that are in their clients’ best interests. Both broker-dealer firms and their registered firms have what the regulation describes as a “Care Obligation,” under which they must “have a reasonable basis to believe that each recommendation or series of recommendations made is in the best interest of the particular retail customer and does not place their financial or other interests ahead of the interest of the retail customer.” Regulation Best Interest stipulates further that brokers and financial advisors must disclose to their clients any potential conflicts of interests that might consciously or unconsciously result in them providing “advice that is not disinterested,” as FINRA explains. More information about these rules is available via FINRA.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Ryan Arnold holds seven years of securities industry experience. Based in Lake Mary, Florida, he has been registered as a broker and an investment advisor with LPL Financial since 2018 and 2019, respectively, doing business as Ryan Arnold Wealth Management. His 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. He is licensed in California, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. (Information current as of February 8, 2026.)
