Joseph Mahalick and Newport Coast Securities, Inc.

 

Have you lost money with financial advisor Joseph Mahalick of Chicago, Illinois?  We are investigating allegations made by FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, against Joseph Mahalick. FINRA previously barred Mahalick from the securities industry after he failed to respond to a FINRA investigation.  FINRA was investigating Mahalick regarding allegations that he intentionally misidentified a broker of record on account applications, in an attempt to cover up for another representative who allegedly violated securities regulations.  FINRA alleged that Mahalick placed trades for IceWEB, Inc. with the alleged misidentification.

 

Joseph Mahalick was a financial advisor and registered representative of Newport Coast Securities, Inc. from April 2013 to October 2015.  He was also with Meyers Associates from November 2011 to April 2013.  He worked at a branch office in Chicago, Illinois.

 

Brokerage firms like Newport Coast Securities have a responsibility to adequately supervise all representatives who are registered through their firm.  Brokerage firms also must take steps to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies.  When brokerage firms fail to adequately supervise their registered representatives, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.
