The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) contains new information about securities broker Rodolf Ivan Wenzel (“Ivan Wenzel”) (CRD#: 1532033, Redlands, California). Evidently, Wenzel worked for firms Allstate Financial Services (1999 to 2018) and Voya Financial Advisors (2019 to 2020). Specifically, two Allstate investors filed disputes allegin Save g sales practice violations. Not only that, but Allstate discharged Wenzel’s employment amid allegations of misconduct.
Notably, a client of Allstate Financial Services disputed Ivan Wenzel’s sales practices. The client contends that Wenzel did not properly explain the variable annuity. In addition, the client claims that Wenzel caused there to be an ineligible annuitant on the variable annuity. Because of this, the client asked for compensation. Allstate Financial Services, without any admission of liability, opted to settle the matter by making a $25,864.56 payment to the client.
Evidently, Ivan Wenzel worked in Allstate's Redlands, California offices from September 1999 to May 2018. It seems that the firm "discharged" him as a securities broker. Notably, the firm alleges that Wenzel terminated him "after allegations of rebating on a non-registered life insurance policy."
Also, BrokerCheck shows that a second client of Allstate Financial Services alleges misrepresentation. It appears that the client brought a dispute about Ivan Wenzel’s variable annuity representations. Allegedly, Wenzel misrepresented surrender charges on the variable annuity. Basically, surrender charges are penalties that the issuer of an annuity assesses for prematurely surrendering the annuity. However, Allstate Financial Services denied this client’s dispute.
