FINRA Claim Filed against Advisory Group Equity featured by top securities fraud attorneys, the White Law Group

Another Lawsuit Alleges Unsuitable Investment Recommendations in iCap

The White Law Group announces the filing of a FINRA Arbitration claim submitted on behalf of two Massachusetts residents, alleging violation of common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision.  The claim alleges that Advisory Group Equity Services LTD unsuitably invested its clients in a variety of complex, non-traded alternative investments, including the following:

ICAP Pacific Northwest Oppty. & Income Fund GPB Holdings II, LP GPB Automotive Portfolio, LP Shopoff Commercial Growth & Income Fund II, LP Shopoff Land Fund III, LP King Royalty Masters Property Inc

The FINRA claim seeks damages in an amount between $100,000 and $350,000.

It is further alleged that the broker that was involved with the accounts at issue is Ronald David Birnbaum.  

Before recommending an investment, a broker-dealer has a fiduciary duty to adequately disclose the risks involved in the investment and to perform the necessary due diligence to determine whether the investment is suitable for the investor.

Advisory Group Equity Services – FINRA Claims

According to D. Daxton White, managing partner of The White Law Group, “It is possible that many more investors have suffered devastating losses due to the broker-dealers’ failure to supervise and don’t realize they have recovery options.”  Brokerage firms are required to supervise their brokers to ensure that they are complying with FINRA rules. If it can be determined that the financial advisor violated FINRA rules and the employers failed to adequately supervise him, these firms can be held responsible for any resulting losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
