Variable Annuity Switching Recovery for Widowed Investor

A significant recovery via confidential mediation was reached for our client who where we had alleged that the broker engaged in the practice known as “Twisting” (replacing variable annuities for the commissions) with the proceeds from her husband’s life insurance and pension funds after his passing.

Your financial advisor has an obligation to put your interests ahead of theirs and to ensure that any recommendations that are made are appropriate for you and in your best interests. Failure to do so can entitle an investor to recover what they lost as well as what they should have made on the investments they were sold.

In this case, the Securities Lawyers team at Halling & Cayo, S.C. was able to obtain a substantial recovery for our client via a confidential mediation which resolved the FINRA arbitration that had been brought.
