The firm has helped recover over $600 million (exclusive of attorney’s fees and costs) for investors, and can help you determine if your loss is due to financial advisor misconduct, unsuitable investment advice, and/or other securities violations.
KlaymanToskes is currently representing two retired investors in a FINRA arbitration case (FINRA Case No. 25-01423) seeking between $100,000 and $500,000 in damages for unsuitable recommendations made by Ray Gallette (CRD# 3041923) and Realta Equities (formerly known as Coastal Equities).
According to the claim, the investors sought conservative, fixed income investments to support their financial needs during retirement. Instead, Coastal Equities’ financial advisor, Ray Gallette, recommended Alternative Investments. The investments included GWG L Bonds, GPB Holdings, US Energy, ATEL8, EquiTrust, and SmartStop REIT.
Alternative Investments are illiquid and speculative in nature, meaning that they are not suitable for investors seeking low-risk, conservative investments. In April 2022, GWG Holdings, Inc. filed for bankruptcy, suspending their monthly dividends and leaving investors without access to their principal.
With the GWG Holdings’ bankruptcy plan offering only a 3% recovery to L bondholders, affected investors may pursue an additional potential recovery through a FINRA arbitration claim. It is critical that GWG L Bond investors explore all of their legal options outside of the bankruptcy.
If your financial advisor recommended GWG L Bonds or any other Alternative Investment listed above, KlaymanToskes strongly encourages you to contact our office for a free and confidential account review. Call our office today at (888) 997-9956 to speak with an attorney.
