May 2018-Salt Lake City, Utah
The Utah Division of Securities filed actions against Cetera Advisor Network, Paul W. Neuenswander and Financial Network FID West LLC, d/b/a Peak Financial Network Solutions over credit union violations. Link to the Utah pleading here.
Neuenswander is a licensed stockbroker who is employed by Cetera. Peak Financial Network is the DBA for Financial Network FID West LLC and is a registered branch of Cetera.
The Utah regulator conducted examinations of Cetera’s business operations being conducted in the following credit unions:
- Jordan Credit Union
- Granite Credit Union
- Deseret First Credit Union
- Utah Community Credit Union
The regulator found that Cetera failed to comply with regulatory requirements governing networking arrangements between broker-dealers and credit unions, approved the use of misleading sales and advertising materials provided to the public and failed to supervise the business being conducted from their operations within the credit unions. As a result customers were not adequately informed that investments were being provided by Cetera and not the financial institution.
The Utah Division of Securities has filed similar proceedings for similar violations against LPL Financial and CUSO Financial Services.
If you have suffered losses as a result of investments you made with Cetera, LPL or CUSO Financial Services at a credit union, you may be able to recover damages. Call for a no charge consultation to discuss your options.
