Belpointe Advisor Richard Rogers Resigns Amid Allegations

UBS Advisor Lands $1mm Investor Complaint

Phoenix-based financial consultant Richard Rogers (CRD# 1847671) has made headlines recently as he stepped down from a previous brokerage due to misconduct accusations. Previously associated with Belpointe Asset Management, he is now on file with Brookwood Investment Group, according to records from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

A deep dive into Rogers’ BrokerCheck report reveals that he phased out his association with Belpointe Asset Management in a somewhat controversial manner. This report, filed in June 2023, details that his departure was not routine but a concession linked to allegations of disseminating unapproved sales materials, not updating his disclosure form promptly, and intentionally misguiding a customer via email.

Besides this recent issue, Rogers’ BrokerCheck report also brings a second significant disclosure to light. In 1986, it was alleged that Rogers, a representative of the First Commodity Corporation of Boston, misrepresented crucial facts concerning an undocumented investment. Ultimately, this complaint culminated in a hefty settlement of $16,166.46.
