Meyer Wilson for Investor Claims Against Transamerica
Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. is an independent broker-dealer and
registered investment advisor. Since 1969, Transamerica Financial Advisors
has been a full-service company selling products through related entities
as an AEGON company,
A securities brokerage firm licensed by FINRA, Transamerica Financial Advisors,
Inc. has a legal duty to supervise its brokers and its brokers' recommendations
to clients to ensure compliance with and prevent violations of the rules
of the security industry. When an individual broker is negligent or acts
in an unlawful manner against the interests of the client and that client
suffers damages as a result of such wrongdoing, the firm may be held liable
for the investor's losses.
Potential Fraud & Misconduct Claims Against Transamerica Financial Advisors
Transamerica, like any other registered broker-dealer firm, is subject
to financial industry oversight and can be cited, fined, forced to pay
restitution and otherwise penalized by regulators like FINRA and the SEC.
Some of the most common claims against investment firms like Transamerica
and their registered financial advisors/brokers include failure to supervise
and unsuitability.
A claim like
failure to supervise means that the broker and/or the brokerage firm didn't do their job.
Financial advisors are required by law to adequately supervise their investors'
accounts. Broker firms are also required by law to supervise the goings-on
through their firm and their registered brokers. When either party fails
to adequately supervise, it is easier for misconduct to happen. When misconduct
happens, investors usually sustain substantial financial losses.
Another common investor claim against broker-dealer firms is
unsuitability. Sometimes, brokers will make suggestions to their clients about investments
simply because they will get a commission for a successful sale, paying
no attention to whether or not the investment is actually suitable for
the investor. Unsuitable investments are risky at best, and cause the
investor to lose part or all of their assets.
If you believe that a Transamerica broker is guilty of some type of misconduct,
you can search their investment history by using
FINRA's broker check tool.
