Rex Securities Law is investigating VSR Financial Services broker Terrell C. Lady of Providence Wealth Advisors in connection with the sale of real estate securities, promissory notes, equipment leasing investments, limited partnerships and direct investments in oil & gas investments.
According to FINRA records Lady was named in a FINRA arbitration in 2011 (#11-725 ) by a customer who alleged violation of federal securities laws, violations of Virginia securities laws, breach of contract, common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and gross negligence. That case was settled in 2/2012 for $169,500.
According to FINRA records Lady has been registered with VSR Financial Services since 8/2004.
VSR Financial Services was fined $550,000 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in May 2013 in connection with the sale of alternative investments. In their findings, FINRA criticised VSR Financial for recommending high concentration levels of alternative investments in customer accounts and for its lack of supervision over the use of consolidated reports prepared by brokers and provided to customers.
Alternative investments include non publicly traded real estate investment trusts (REITS) , hedge funds, real estate, commodities and derivatives contracts and, managed futures. It may also include art, wine, antiques, coins or stamps. These investments tend to be complex, illiquid, nontransparent, hard to value and expensive. Many of the alternative investments sold over recent years are not traded on any public market making them difficult to value and even more difficult to liquidate if cash is needed.
