Client Of Morgan Stanley Alleges Misrepresentation By Mark Wells

Notably, a client of Morgan Stanley disputed Wells’ sales practices in June 2021.

Also, a client of Prime Capital Services took aim at Wells’ sales practices. It appears that Wells had the client invest in allegedly unsuitable annuities and mutual funds.

Moreover, a Prime Capital Services client brought a dispute about Wells and the firm. Supposedly, Wells misrepresented important details concerning an annuity. The client states that Wells described that annuity as a CD alternative paying up to six percent each year. Not only that, but Wells allegedly failed to reasonably explain expenses, fees, and risks to the principal in the annuity. However, the securities firm denied the client’s dispute.

Prime Capital Services Client Claims Unsuitability, Churning

Evidently, two clients settled disputes about Wells. One concerns a Prime Investment Services client, who alleged that Wells sold an unsuitable variable annuity. It appears that Prime Capital Services settled that dispute by making a $363,522 payment to the client.
In addition, a Prime Capital Services client brought a dispute about "churning of variable annuity accounts." Because of this, Prime Capital Services, without any admission of liability, settled this matter by making a $20,000 payment to the client.
Finally, the first dispute on Wells’ BrokerCheck record concerns alleged misrepresentations of variable annuities in connection with Wells’ sale of those products. However, the firm denied this matter.
