Daniel C. Stewart-Former VSR Financial Services Broker-Discloses Customer Dispute-Shawnee, KS 150 150 Rex Securities Law

April 2017-Shawnee, KS

The FINRA records of  Daniel C. Stewart ,  a  stockbroker who was formerly  employed by  VSR Financial Services  disclose a pending customer dispute.

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.

Stewart , who operates Professional Financial Concepts  in Shawnee, KS discloses that  a complaint filed by a VSR Financial Services customer in 10/2016 alleges damages of $40,000. The customer alleges that Stewart was instructed to move the account to cash in 11/2015 but failed to do so until 1/2016 causing the loss.

Stewart was registered with VSR Financial Services from 12/2006-11/2016 and is currently registered with Summit Brokerage Services, a related entity .

See this for more information regarding VSR Financial Services.

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 similar to United Development Funding. 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.
