Wolfgang Suess is a financial advisor with 11 years of securities industry experience, currently operating in Chicago, IL. According to publicly available records, including FINRA BrokerCheck, Mr. Suess holds registrations as a broker with Quincy Wells Capital and as an investment advisor with Quincy Wells Advisors. He has handled securities in multiple states, holding 20 licenses, and passed several key industry exams, including the:

Current and Past Complaints: What Investors Have Alleged
One pending investor complaint is currently disclosed concerning Mr. Suess:
- Date Filed: March 2026
- Firm at Time of Event: Great Point Capital
- Allegations: The customer accuses Mr. Suess of recommending an unsuitable investment, breaching contract, failing to conduct due diligence, and breaching fiduciary duty, all related to the purchase of a Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) as part of a 1031 exchange. The complaint claims unspecified financial damages and remains pending.
This type of investor complaint is significant because suitability, due diligence, and fiduciary duty are core requirements for financial advisors. Allegations that a DST recommendation failed to account for a client’s risk tolerance or experience level raise concerns that an investor’s funds may have been placed in an illiquid or high-fee investment vehicle without proper warning or investigation.
Understanding the Risks: DSTs and 1031 Exchanges
- Delaware Statutory Trusts (DSTs) allow investors to buy fractional interests in institutional-level real estate.
- Often used in 1031 exchanges to defer capital gains taxes, these investments are highly illiquid, subject to high fees, and investors have very little control over management or disposition of the real estate.
- DSTs are not suitable for every investor, especially those needing liquidity or with low risk tolerance, making it crucial for advisors to match products to each client’s financial profile.
