Did PHX’s Steros Christoforou Recommend Unsuitable Investment?

An investor complaint against Fort Lauderdale financial advisor Steros Christoforou (CRD# 4407397) alleges that his advice resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is currently registered as a broker with PHX Financial.

Mr. Christoforou’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in April 2023, it alleges that as a representative of PHX Financial, he made unsuitable investment recommendations involving a non-public traded equity. The pending complaint alleges damages of $100,000.
