A client has filed a FINRA Arbitration against financial advisor Alexis Cain of Lincoln Investment and Capital Analysts. The client alleges that the advisor failed to disclose the fees associated with opening a Franklin Templeton 529 Savings Plan for each of her two children in June 2022.
The client also claims that her financial professional didn’t research multiple 529 plans, arguing that the PA529 plan would have been a more cost-efficient option. To add insult to injury, the client alleges that the advisor delayed her progress towards transferring to a new investment provider by refusing to provide a Medallion Signature Guarantee stamp on the transfer paperwork. The client is seeking a total of $4,000 in damages.
