Ernesto Chavez (CRD: 4315877) faces a new pending claim on BrokerCheck over an investment made in 2018. The customer alleges $180,000 in damages, and no arbitrator has ruled on the claim.
Investor Alert! There are problematic disclosures on the FINRA BrokerCheck report of Mark William Just (CRD#: 1138738, Indianapolis, Indiana). Evidently, Just is a Triad Advisors LLC broker. He also works as a financial advisor for The Just Company. Notably, the securities broker is involved in multiple disputes that allege unsuitable investment transactions. Here’s what we know so far.
Evidently, a client of Triad Advisors filed a dispute about Mark Just’s sales practices. In the August 2020 FINRA Arbitration Claim, the client indicated that Just sold unsuitable investments. Specifically, the client indicated that Just initiated their purchase of real estate securities. It is possible that those REITs were inconsistent with the client’s investment profile. For this reason, the client demanded $150,000 in this ongoing matter.
Apparently, a Triad Advisors client took aim at Mark Just through a January 2020 lawsuit. Namely, the client claimed that they bought one or more unsuitable variable annuities or real estate securities. It is possible that Just may not have considered the client’s suitability profile when recommending investments. Apparently, the client asked for $100,000 to resolve this matter. Evidently, this suitability dispute against Triad Advisors is ongoing as of January 22, 2021.
Notably, a client of Triad Advisors disputed Mark Just’s sales practices concerning investments including annuities, bonds, stocks and mutual funds. In the June 2018 FINRA Arbitration Claim, the client claimed that Just recommended investments that under-performed from 2011 to 2017. It seems that the client possibly incurred nearly $1,000,000 in damages. Evidently, this client’s suitability dispute is unresolved at this time.
In prior disputes about Just, one or more clients indicated that he failed to disclose surrender charges or other information regarding annuities. One client’s dispute alleged misrepresentation of a VA. However, those disputes were denied by the securities firms.
