Broker Philip Riposo, United Planners, Barred after Allegations  

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the regulator has barred financial advisor Philip Anthony Riposo (CRD#: 400056) after he reportedly failed to provide information in an investigation.  

On March 8, 2022, Riposo’s member firm, United Planners , disclosed that it had terminated Riposo on March 3, 2022, after he allegedly admitted to creating and providing clients with fictitious account statements, as well as receiving and depositing checks from clients made out to Riposo Asset Management, Riposo’s Doing-Business-As (DBA) name, according to a Letter of Acceptance Waiver and Consent.  

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Riposo has five customer complaints and two employment separations. He was reportedly affiliated with the following firms, among others, during his 47-year career in the securities industry:   

 12/07/2015 – 03/08/2022, UNITED PLANNERS’ FINANCIAL SERVICES OF AMERICA A LIMITED PARTNER (CRD#:20804), CAVE CREEK, AZ,
