Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) BrokerCheck reveals disclosures about securities broker Vinessa Renee Christian (CRD: 1860324, New York, NY). Christian previously worked for UBS Financial Services Inc. from September 2005 to April 2023 and was also registered with RBC Dain Rauscher Inc. and Tucker Anthony Incorporated.
Recent disclosures reveal concerns about Christian’s conduct, leading to a permanent bar by FINRA due to failure to respond to regulatory inquiries.
On October 31, 2023, FINRA initiated a regulatory action against Christian, alleging that she failed to respond to FINRA’s requests for information (Docket No. 2023078490201). As a result, FINRA issued a suspension notice on October 31, 2023, followed by a final bar on February 5, 2024, after she did not request termination of her suspension within the required three-month period. This bar permanently prohibits her from associating with any FINRA member in any capacity.
UBS Financial Services Inc. discharged Christian on March 22, 2023. The firm alleged that she violated company policy by reusing a client signature from a previously signed form and altering the date on an ACAT form before scanning it. These actions led to her termination after an internal review determined misconduct.
Investors who engaged with Christian during her tenure at UBS Financial Services or her previous firms should review their accounts and transactions. Given the regulatory bar and prior employment allegations, clients may wish to seek legal counsel if they have concerns regarding their investments or advisory services received.
