ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI

Did you lose money investing with advisor Joseph Crespi, formerly with Stifel Nicolaus & Company? Recently, the Massachusetts Securities Division brough a claim against Stifel Nicolaus, which is a St. Louis, Missouri-based brokerage firm.

The Massachusetts claim alleged that Joseph Crespi worked in a Taunton, Massachusetts office of Stifel Nicolaus. Massachusetts alleged that Crespi excessively traded customers’ accounts using mutual funds and unit investment trusts (UITs) in order to generate commissions for himself. Massachusetts further alleged that Stifel Nicolaus failed to adequately monitor Crespi’s conduct, in violation of its duties. To settle these allegations, Stifel Nicolaus agreed to pay $712,612 in restitution to effected customers and an administrative fine of $2.5 million.

Stifel Nicoalus has an obligation to adequately supervise Joseph Crespi, who worked at Stifel Nicolaus’ Taunton, Massachusetts office from December 2018 to February 2022. Crespi had been the subject of three customer complaints prior to joining Stifel Nicolaus.
