February 2018-Dallas, Texas

The FINRA records of  Kenneth B. Neuner ,  a  stockbroker who was formerly  employed by Summit Brokerage Services,  VSR Financial Services and TCFG Wealth Management disclose that he was recently barred from the securities industry by FINRA .

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.

In March 2017 Neuner was terminated from employment by Summit Brokerage Services for unauthorized exercise of discretion (trading without written authority from the customer).

Thereafter FINRA initiated an investigation into the purported misconduct and requested that Neuner appear for testimony in the investigation. Neuner advised FINRA that he would not appear for on the record testimony at any time in the matter. By refusing to appear and provide testimony Neuner was in violation of FINRA rules, resulting in a bar from associating with any FINRA member.

Neuner was employed by VSR FInancial Services from 4/1996-9/2016 and Summit Brokerage Services 9/2016-3/2017, and with TCFG Wealth Management from 4/2017-5/2017.

VSR Financial Services Faces Numerous Customer Disputes Over Unsuitable REIT/Alternative Investments

VSR wound down operations at the end of 2016 and transferred most of their brokers and customer accounts to Summit Brokerage ServicesSee 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 various alternative investments (such as Atlas Energy, Behringer Harvard REITs, Cole, CNL, Icon Income, Inland REIT, KBS REITs, MacKenzie Capital, Spirit Realty) . In their findings, FINRA criticized 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  tend to be complex, illiquid, nontransparent, hard to value and expensive. Most of the alternative investments sold  are not traded on any public market making them difficult to value and even more difficult to liquidate if cash is needed.
