Robert Wayne Pearce Is Committed to Recovering Your Investment Losses
FINRA Rule 2330 applies to recommended purchases and exchanges of deferred variable annuities. In the context of the pending complaint involving Weinzatl, this rule may be relevant because the customers allege problems with instructions to exchange assets from a variable annuity contract into a new fixed annuity contract. If the annuity exchange involved a recommendation, an investigation may review whether the customer was properly informed about surrender charges, tax penalties, fees, product features, and whether the exchange was suitable and properly documented.
FINRA Rule 2010 requires member firms and associated persons to observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade. In the context of the allegations against Weinzatl, this rule may be relevant because the complaint concerns whether customer instructions involving an annuity exchange were properly followed. If proven, a failure to accurately process customer instructions that causes tax consequences may raise fair-dealing concerns under FINRA’s broad ethical standards.
FINRA Rule 4513 requires firms to preserve written customer complaints and records of any action taken by the firm. This rule is relevant because the BrokerCheck disclosure identifies the matter as a written customer complaint, not an oral complaint or arbitration. In an investigation involving alleged failure to follow annuity-exchange instructions, complaint files, written instructions, forms, correspondence, transaction records, and any firm response may be important evidence in determining what instructions were given, how they were handled, and whether corrective action was taken.
