Soreide Law Group has new information to share with you regarding securities broker Mark William Pearcy (CRD#: 2978026, San Diego, California). Notably, the securities broker worked for MSI Financial Services (MetLife Securities) from 1997 to 2017 as both a securities broker and a financial advisor. He joined MML Investors Services (MassMutual) in 2017. It appears through FINRA BrokerCheck that four investors challenged Pearcy's sales practices. For more on those disclosures, check out the following summary.
Evidently, a client of MetLife came forward with a dispute about Mark Pearcy’s insurance sales. The November 2020 FINRA Arbitration Claim concerns Pearcy’s sales of a variable universal life insurance policy. According to the client, Pearcy misrepresented this policy, claiming that it could produce ten percent annual returns for the client. It seems that the client invested in those premiums for 20 years, but the policy lapsed. It appears that MetLife opted to settle this matter in August 2021 by paying the client $100,000.
Evidently, a client of MetLife Securities disputed Mark Pearcy's mutual fund and variable annuity transactions. The May 2015 dispute relates to the client's alleged instructions on placing funds in risk-free products. Purportedly, Pearcy did not follow the client's instructions in this respect. The client also claimed that Pearcy provided bad advice about several variable annuities. However, MetLife Securities denied this dispute.
Moreover, two different clients lodged disputes about Mark Pearcy in 2009. One of those disputes concerns Pearcy’s variable annuity recommendations, which the client described as unsuitable. Evidently, the client obtained $105,306.05 in a settlement with MetLife.
The second dispute concerned Mark Pearcy failing to consider the client’s concerns about volatility. Supposedly, the securities broker made misrepresentations about investment accounts to that client. However, MetLife denied this dispute.
