Soreide Law Group is reviewing possible investor disputes against AXA Advisors securities broker James “Jimmy” Allen Jacobs (CRD#: 256420, Chesterfield, Virginia). Not only has Virginia State Corporation Commission imposed special supervisory procedures seemingly because of Jacobs’ transgressions in the industry, but at least 5 clients raised serious concerns about the securities broker, who worked for AXA Advisors from 1980 to 2018 before it disaffiliated with Jacobs following an investigation into his possible forgery and violation of company policy. Notably, these disclosures suggest that Jacobs misrepresented investments and made unauthorized transactions causing clients' losses. Read on to learn more about the securities broker.

Jacobs Allegedly Fails To Tell Client About Fees And Charges

Evidently, a client of AXA Advisors contested Jimmy Jacobs’ actions by making a complaint on October 21, 2016. Allegedly, Jacobs charged commissions or fees that he did not appropriately disclose to the client before selling a variable annuity. It seems that the client would not have purchased the variable annuity if Jacobs disclosed the seemingly high fees or commissions. Consequently, AXA Advisors agreed to settle the client’s dispute on November 23, 2016.
Notably, prior client disputes raise allegations of misrepresentation and omissions pertaining to life insurance. These disputes raise questions about whether Jacobs engaged in a pattern of making false or misleading statements and omissions.
