A sample of the allegations made in the FINRA reported arbitration claim settlements and/or pending complaints for investment losses are as follows:

  • Failure to disclose fees associated with the variable annuity contract.
  • The advisor failed to obtain the proper form for withdrawal of funds from the intended Individual Retirement Account. Instead, the withdrawal came from an annuity that was not to be drawn upon until a certain age in order to receive a guaranteed rate.
