For this reason, the client allegedly experienced damages linked to real estate securities, money market funds, life insurance products, and stocks. As a result, on October 23, 2023, Householder Group Financial Advisors LLC settled this matter by paying the client $55,000.
Also, a client of LPL Financial LLC contested Kirk Balin’s sales practices by filing FINRA Arbitration No. 18-03149.

Consequently LPL Financial LLC agreed to settle the matter on May 30, 2019, by compensating the client in the amount of $14,000.
