A Financial Industry Regulatory Authority arbitration panel made the ruling on behalf of David and Amy Wechsler of New Jersey, who filed the case in 2009, seeking $1.3 million. Their allegations included misrepresentation, failure to disclose information and breach of fiduciary duty, according to the award.

The Finra panel also awarded $53,000 in legal fees and a $17,000 reimbursement of expert witness fees to the customers, according to the award, entered by Finra on June 4.
