Soreide Law Group has filed a FINRA arbitration on behalf of their client (Claimant) against:
SUMMIT BROKERAGE SERVICES, INC. (Respondent)
The Claimant, residing in Illinois, alleges losses due to the actions of SUMMIT BROKERAGE SERVICES. The lawsuit alleges that the Respondent’s registered representative, VICTOR A. RIGONI III (VICTOR RIGONI ) CRD#: 4272056, solicited the Claimant to purchase a portfolio containing speculative, non-traded REITs without fully disclosing the risks of the recommendations. In particular, one of the REITs was American Finance Trust now publicly traded under AFIN. Allegedly, Victor Rigoni also recommended the purchase and switching of several variable annuity investments which caused the Claimant damages for early withdrawals. Rigoni is not mentioned in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit alleges SUMMIT BROKERAGE SERVICES and their registered representative over-concentrated the Claimant’s portfolio in high-commission REITs, and recommended unnecessary changes to expensive, commission laden annuities.
The Claimant allegedly has suffered significant losses of at least $99,000 during a time when the financial markets have enjoyed record returns.
The lawsuit is alleging: negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, violation of FINRA rules, and negligent supervision.
According to FINRA’s BrokerCheck, available to the public on FINRA’s website, VICTOR RIGONI has 13 Disclosures on his report.
