CENTER STREET SECURITIES, INC.

Soreide Law Group has filed a FINRA arbitration on behalf of our clients (Claimants) against:
CENTER STREET SECURITIES, INC. (Respondent)
The Claimants, a married couple from Arizona, bring this action to recover financial losses they sustained allegedly due to the Respondent’s mishandling of the Claimants’ assets by failing to properly allocate and diversify Claimants’ retirement portfolios.
Allegedly, CENTER STREET SECURITIES and their Financial Advisor, Chris Wright, purchased speculative non-traded REITs, Northstar Healthcare and Phillips Edison, and Jackson variable annuities for each of the Claimant’s IRAs. The lawsuit alleges that Chris Wright failed to disclose the high fees and commissions earned for these illiquid investment recommendations. Chris Wright is not named in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges that due to CENTER STREET SECURITIES' actions, the Claimants have suffered significant losses during a time when the financial markets have enjoyed record returns. The Respondent allegedly over-concentrated the Claimants’ portfolios in high-commission and high-risk products.
The lawsuit alleges: breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, breach of contract, negligent supervision, and violation of FINRA rules.
