Culver CIty, CA

According to FINRA records, Jason B. Vanclef a broker who is  registered  with VFG Securities  , discloses that he is named in a FINRA complaint alleging that in connection with the sale of direct investments and REITs, he provided customers with misleading personalized recommendation spreadsheets that contained false, exaggerated, unwarranted or misleading statements, and included improper projections of investment performance.

FINRA also alleges that Vanclef, who is the president of VFG Securities, used misleading communications with the public by providing a copy of a published book, The Wealth Code,  to the public which had not been filed with FINRA for review.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.

Vanclef also discloses six prior customer disputes that have been finalized, including:

  • FINRA Case 13-2979- a customer of Madison Avenue Securities alleged damages of $2.5 million in connection with the purchase of a tenant in common (TIC) investment and two energy related direct investments. That case was settled for $237,500.

Vanclef  has been registered with VFG Securities since 8/2009. Prior to that he was registered with Madison Avenue Securities and Sigma Financial.
