Geneos Client Indicates Michael Osland Inappropriately Allocated Account In Mutual Funds

Evidently, a client of Geneos Wealth Management Inc. brought a formal dispute about Michael Osland on December 20, 2018. Apparently, the client alleged that Osland established a bad investment allocation for the client’s account. Apparently, the client experienced investment losses in 2018 when the market experienced volatility. For this reason, the client alleged $18,821.03 in damages. However, Osland indicated that this matter is closed because of the client not taking further action.

Osland Allegedly Makes Unsuitable Recommendations

Apparently, a second Geneos Wealth Management client took issue with Michael Osland’s sales practices through filing FINRA Arbitration #: 17-03196 on December 6, 2017. Namely, the client suggested that Osland made unsuitable recommendations. It appears that Osland recommended a variety of investments from 2006 to 2017 including annuities, mutual funds, oil and gas investments and real estate securities. By acting on Osland’s advice, the client apparently sustained losses. For this reason, on April 30, 2019, Geneos Wealth Management paid the client $125,000 to resolve the matter.

Apparently, a third client of Geneos Wealth Management brought FINRA Arbitration #: 16-02481 to contest Michael Osland’s sales of oil and gas investments.
