McDermott Investor Accused Craig Fernsler Of Negligence, Omissions, And Breach Of Fiduciary Duty

Notably, on March 5, 2026, a McDermott Investment Services LLC client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 26-00510 about Craig Fernsler. Primarily, the client alleged that Fernsler made unsuitable recommendations, failed to perform due diligence, breached his fiduciary duty, made misrepresentations, made omissions, was negligent, breached a contract, and failed to supervise certain representatives. For this reason, the client allegedly experienced damages connected to DSTs. As a result, the client requested $300,000 in compensation from McDermott Investment Services LLC or Fernsler. BrokerCheck shows that this arbitration is awaiting a resolution.

What Is Negligence And Misrepresentation Involving DSTs?

A Delaware Statutory Trust (DST) is a real estate investment structure that allows investors to own fractional interests in income-producing properties, often as part of a Section 1031 exchange. Negligence involving a DST generally refers to allegations that a securities broker or financial advisor failed to exercise reasonable care when evaluating, recommending, or monitoring the investment. Misrepresentation may occur when important information about a DST's risks, fees, liquidity limitations, projected returns, or underlying properties is inaccurately described or omitted. Because DSTs can be complex investments, investors often rely on financial professionals to provide complete and accurate information before investing.
