According to the claim, from 2012 to 2017, Fergang’s mutual fund transactions were not suitable and had caused the customer to pay more in front-end sales charges than the customer would have paid with breakpoint discounts.
Fergang was registered with RBC Capital Markets between March 7, 2003 and June 19, 2019. Since July 29, 2019, he has been registered as a stockbroker and investment advisor representative of Stifel Nicolaus Company.
