According to FINRA, Nathan Reed Waters was suspended from association with any FINRA member firm pursuant to FINRA Rule 9552(d) for failure to provide information or keep information current.
The suspension became effective on August 29, 2025. As of the report date, the suspension had not been lifted.
The underlying matter is documented in FINRA Case #2024084504201.
Waters was located in Sherman Oaks, California. The suspension prevents him from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity until he comes into compliance.
FINRA's authority to suspend individuals who fail to provide requested information is essential to effective securities regulation. Without this authority, individuals could simply refuse to cooperate with investigations and continue working in the industry.
If Waters does not come into compliance within three months of the suspension, it may convert to a permanent bar from the securities industry under FINRA Rule 9552(h).
For investors who had accounts or dealings with Waters, the suspension means he cannot conduct securities business on your behalf. Contact your firm to ensure your accounts are being properly serviced and that any pending matters are being handled.
If you have concerns about Waters's conduct or your investments, consider consulting with a securities attorney about your options.
