Jonmark Richardson, a financial advisor from Glendale, Arizona, is facing an investor complaint alleging damages of over $200,000. According to records from the Securities and Exchange Commission, Richardson works with Valhalla Advisors as an investment advisor and with Financial Partners of America as a life insurance agent.  Richardson’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure form shows several investor complaints. 

The latest complaint, filed in May 2024, alleges that Richardson is presently an investment advisor representative and sole owner of Financial Partners of America (“FPA”), which is a licensed insurance producer. The customer alleges that the investment was unsuitable and asserts causes of action against FPA and Richardson for breach of fiduciary duty, securities fraud, professional negligence, constructive fraud, negligent misrepresentation, punitive damages, and a claim of control person liability against Richardson.

In 2023, a second investor complaint alleged that Richardson recommended an unsuitable investment while with Financial Partners of America. This complaint was settled in favor of the investor for $84,000. Similarly, a third complaint in 2022 alleged Richardson recommended an unsuitable investment, and failed to act in the best interest of his client.
