Western International Securities and its advisors have recently encountered a series of regulatory issues, including allegations of misconduct and failure to supervise, prompting concerns regarding the firm’s compliance practices and the best interests of its clients. In June 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged Western International Securities and five of its California-registered financial advisors (Case No. 2:22-cv-04119) with violations related to the sale of alternative investments such as GWG L Bonds. Most recently, Western consented to a censure and agreed to pay over $870,000 in fines and restitution to customers, following allegations that the firm made unsuitable recommendations to its customers to invest in non-traded REITs and ETFs.
Current and former customers of Western International Securities in California who suffered investment losses are encouraged to contact attorney Steven D. Toskes at (888) 997-9956 or by email at investigations@klaymantoskes.com in furtherance of our investigation.
