Who is Michael Dose?
Table of Contents
Michael Dose (CRD# 1747180) is a seasoned financial advisor with nearly four decades in the securities industry. He is currently registered with Cambridge Investment Research and offers services as “The Retirement Strategy Connection” out of San Diego, California. Over his lengthy career, Mr. Dose has passed a suite of regulatory licensing exams, including:
- Securities Industry Essentials (SIE)
- Series 7 – General Securities Representative

Background: Private Placements & Inspired Healthcare Capital
Mr. Dose’s name recently surfaced in regulatory discussions as a participant in offerings by Inspired Healthcare Capital, a company specializing in senior living development that has entered bankruptcy. These investments typically took the form of private placements and Delaware Statutory Trusts—products often promoted to enhance yield or diversify beyond traditional assets. Notably, these offerings generated more than $100 million in fees and commissions for a network of brokers and advisors, including those formerly registered with multiple national broker-dealers.
Key Facts About Inspired Healthcare Capital:
- Engaged independent broker-dealers, including Emerson Equity.
- Investors faced halted distributions prior to bankruptcy.
- Many brokers who sold these investments may face “claw back” actions, potentially reducing recovery for investors.

Regulatory Record: Complaints & Disclosures
Transparency and a clear understanding of an advisor’s track record are essential for investors. As of the latest update, Michael Dose’s FINRA BrokerCheck profile shows no customer complaints, regulatory actions, or employment terminations for cause. Specifically:
- Customer Disputes: None reported
- Regulatory Actions: None found
- Bankruptcies or Criminal Issues: None disclosed
- Employment Terminations for Cause: None reported
However, his past employment history includes a 2009 termination from LPL Financial. At that time, the firm alleged a violation of internal policy regarding client financing used for investment. Mr. Dose has also been affiliated with various broker-dealers, including some previously involved in the distribution of bankrupt investment products.
What Does This Mean for Investors?
While there are currently no public customer complaints on file for Michael Dose, the connection to alternative investments such as Inspired Healthcare Capital—which has entered bankruptcy and stopped distributions—should prompt any investor to review their holdings and communications regarding risk disclosures, especially if these investments were recommended. Investors should note:
- If you invested in Inspired Healthcare Capital or other private placements through Mr. Dose, your recovery may be at risk due to bankruptcy proceedings and anticipated legal costs.
- Claw backs or litigation following such bankruptcies can significantly reduce the pool available to harmed investors.
- The lack of complaints does not eliminate the need for a comprehensive, third-party portfolio review.
You can independently review Michael Dose’s BrokerCheck record for additional details.
