An arbitration has been filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) against Money Concepts Capital Corp. This claim was filed by an elderly woman who allegedly lost her investment with the Springfield, Illinois location, and broker Dustin Shafer, who was her broker/advisor at the time. Shafer allegedly recommended to his elderly client that she invest in non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs). Allegedly, the client suffered substantial losses and claims these investments were unsuitable for her as a conservative, retired investor. He is currently registered with NewBridge Securities Corporation of Springfield, Illinois.
Brokers have an obligation, to all clients, and paticularly retirees, to make sure they understand the expenses and risks associated with REITs before purchasing them and also what level of income to expect and how it will be taxed.
