CFP Board Reportedly Sanctions Advisor Mark Trewitt

CFP Reportedly Orders Revocation to Mark Trewitt, Delta Investment Management, for Rules Violations  

Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) announced this week public sanctions against several representatives including reportedly Mark Andrew Trewitt (Gordonville, Texas). In July 2022, Trewitt reportedly agreed that CFP Board would issue a Revocation of his right to use the CFP® certification marks for allegedly “making unsuitable recommendations to customers, some of whom were seniors, to invest in risky and illiquid investments, such as private placements and real estate investment trusts, in inappropriate concentrations.”  

According to the announcement, Trewitt’s alleged conduct resulted in the Texas State Securities Board issuing a Disciplinary Order that reportedly suspended him for 90 days and included a prohibition on recommending private placements as an investment advisor representative. The Commission reportedly issued to Trewitt a Revocation, effective July 15, 2022.  

According to his BrokerCheck profile, Trewitt reportedly has a long list of disclosure events including 19 customer complaints filed against him during his career in the securities industry. Allegations include misrepresentation, fraud, investments in unsuitable alternative investments, overconcentration and breach of fiduciary duty, among others.  

Trewitt was reportedly affiliated with the following broker dealers and investment advisors, among others:
