What Happened To My Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda)
Investment?
The collapse of Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) Ltd. has generated significant financial hardships for numerous investors. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the situation and potential paths forward.
Background: Northstar, formerly owned by Greg Lindberg (currently incarcerated for financial crimes), offered a range of financial products, primarily targeting foreign nationals. The company faced bankruptcy proceedings and legal issues prior to its liquidation in March 2021.
Investor Impact: The company’s demise resulted in:
- Suspension of Monthly Interest Payments: Investors lost their regular income stream, causing significant financial distress.
- Illiquidity of Investments: Redemption requests are no longer honored, leaving investments inaccessible and effectively frozen.
- Financial Losses: Due to insufficient assets, full recovery for fixed-rate annuity investors is unlikely, leading to substantial financial losses.
Legal Options: Numerous investors are pursuing legal action through various avenues:
- FINRA Arbitration: Many are claiming broker misconduct and fraud against brokerage firms and financial advisors who recommended and sold Northstar products. These claims often center around inadequate due diligence or misrepresentation of risks.
- Lawsuits: Some investors are directly suing Northstar, seeking recovery of losses through litigation focused on the company’s mismanagement and financial malfeasance.

Because the Northstar Financial investment contracts were not being issued
within the U.S., they certainly required a higher level of scrutiny prior to being
sold to clients. Simply put, a certificate of deposit offered by a U.S. bank
requires a far lower level of scrutiny than an esoteric insurance or annuity-like
product offered by a Bermuda-based financial company. However, it appears
that many brokerage firms failed to adhere to the standard required of them
when selling the Northstar Financial investment contracts, including:
| Bancwest Investment Services | J. P. Morgan Securities, LLC |
| Bankoh Investment Services | Ocean Financial Services |
| Bank of Hawaii | Raymond James & Associates, Inc. |
| Cetera Investment Services | Raymond James Financial Services |
| Community America Financial Solutions | SunTrust Investment Services |
| East West Bank | Truist Financial Services |
| Hancock Whitney Investment Services | United Nations Federal Credit Union |
| J. P. Morgan Chase Bank | Unionbanc Investment Services |
