Investors potentially incurred losses because of securities broker Christine Maushardt (also known as Christine Cardwell and Christine Knapp) [CRD: 5520504, Pearl River, New York], based on publicly available information found on Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck. Maushardt has worked for Cetera Investment Services LLC since June 19, 2019, and Cetera Investment Advisers LLC since June 21, 2019. See below to find out more about Maushardt’s disclosure.
Specifically, on January 22, 2026, a Cetera Investment Services LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-01935 about Christine Maushardt. Mainly, the client alleged that Maushardt sold an annuity that was not in the client’s best interest. For this reason, the client allegedly incurred damages on variable annuities. As a result, the client requested $100,000 in compensation from Cetera Investment Services LLC or Maushardt. BrokerCheck shows that this arbitration awaits a resolution.
Generally, breach of fiduciary duty means a securities broker or financial advisor allegedly failed to put a client’s interests first when giving investment advice. Unsuitable recommendations generally involve claims that the financial professional recommended an investment that did not fit the client’s age, risk tolerance, objectives, liquidity needs, or financial situation. For variable annuities, these concerns may involve fees, surrender charges, long holding periods, complexity, or market risk.
