The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) When a boker has mishandled your funds, you have a couple of Federal and national agencies to complain to. The first is the NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) Investor Complaint Center located at http://www.NASD.com. The second is the SEC ( Securities Exchange Commission)Center for Complaints located at http://www.sec.gov/complaint.shtml. When selecting a broker always check their credentials and background with the NASD. The first place I would suggest you go to would be your broker's manager. Doing so first could clear up any misunderstandings before wasting your time going through the headache (and believe me it is) of contacting the SEC only to find out your dispute may or may not be something they would investigate. --- Of course I have no idea what your dispute is or what you mean by "mishandled" your funds. --- Are you not getting the returns you expected? Or did s/he guarantee a certain level of performance? The former may not be a dispute the SEC may handle for you. The latter is more along those lines. --- Are you not getting the service you were promised? Do you feel you are in the wrong types or mix of investments for your set of objectives and level of risk tolerance? Again the first is probably not going to be taken care of by the SEC where the second would be. --- The bottom line is this: has this issue directly caused a loss of money due to negligence or fraud or is it a more indirect lack of service? Money is a very emotional topic, especially a loss of money. Take a step back and look at whether you are simply dissappointed in performance or justified because someone did something wrong. --- In any case, you will get much farther by starting with your brokers manager before escalating to the SEC. Having said that, as the other two have answered, the SEC is there to settle these types of issues. You should absolutely contact them if you are not satisfied with what your broker's manager has to say.
