According to FINRA BrokerCheck, Derek Chung Su has been hit with a customer complaint alleging $2,200,000 in damages due to unsuitable investment recommendations in variable annuities, common & preferred stock, options, and private placement investments.
The customers further allege that they have been clients of USCA Securities since 2015, and that Su failed to properly allocate their accounts in order to meet their retirement goals. The complaint is currently pending, and specifically alleges negligence, gross negligence, failure to supervise, and breach of fiduciary duty.
Financial advisors and their firms have a fiduciary duty to recommend suitable investments that are in their customers’ best interests. Brokers/advisors must consider an investment’s risk, ensure that they do not misrepresent material facts, and/or overconcentrate the customer’s portfolio in unsuitable investments. Further, financial professionals and their firms cannot disregard a customer’s risk-tolerance when making unsuitable investment recommendations.
The violations discussed above each provide a basis for liability in a FINRA arbitration claim. To learn more about additional securities violations, see our account activity violations page. FINRA arbitration is a more cost-effective process for investors, often occurring with increased speed and efficiency over a court proceeding.
