What Are the Key Red Flags for Investors?
Our investigation is informed by our exceptional success rate and first-hand experience uncovering deceptive practices inside major financial institutions. The following areas are under close review:
- Unsuitability of Investments: Evidence suggests possible recommendations of alternative investments and annuities that did not fit the unique financial circumstances of individual clients.
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty: Allegations that Mr. Izaguirre may not have put clients’ interests above his own—or that of the brokerage firm.
- Fraud/Misrepresentation: Clients have reported misleading statements concerning the risks and features of offered investments, potentially violating FINRA Rule 2020.
- Unauthorized Trading: Concerns that transactions may have occurred without clear client understanding or explicit consent.
Historical Complaints and Regulatory Disclosures
FINRA BrokerCheck and corroborating public records show the following regarding Samuel Izaguirre as of June 2024:
- No currently pending or settled customer complaints or arbitrations
- No FINRA, SEC, or state regulatory actions
- No reported civil lawsuits or criminal actions
- No bankruptcies, liens, judgments, or terminations for cause
The Exception: FINRA Arbitration Case No. 20-02122
- In this case, a client of LPL Financial alleged that Izaguirre misled them regarding the risks and details of alternative investments and a variable annuity.
- The client sustained substantial losses, and the impact was significant enough to warrant formal arbitration through FINRA.
- The matter settled in March 2021 for $120,000, reflecting the seriousness of the client’s losses and the strength of the arbitration claim.
Key takeaways: Even with a limited number of formal complaints, a single well-documented settlement can signal missteps in investment advice, oversight, or risk disclosure. Our firm’s experience shows that recent complaints may take weeks or longer to appear in official industry databases—recent, unreported issues could still impact your portfolio.
What Types of Investments Are Under Scrutiny?
Based on public disclosures and our internal client interviews, our review examines:
- Non-traded Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
- Private Placement Funds and Limited Partnerships
- Variable Annuities and Indexed Annuities
Warning: These products often carry higher commissions for brokers and may involve hidden fees, illiquidity, or heightened risk that is not always properly conveyed to investors.
