Broker-Dealer Allegedly Solicited Investors in The Bay State To Invest Beyond Insurance Cap

If you are a Massachusetts investor who suffered losses after you were marketed and sold Colorado Bankers Life Insurance annuities by a Citizens Securities broker, please contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today. It has come to our attention that registered representatives from that broker-dealer may not only have allegedly unsuitably recommended CB Life annuities to many investors in this state, including plenty of seniors and retirees, but also, it appears that these brokers purportedly encouraged them to invest money beyond the $250,000 insurance cap allowed. This has left many investors with serious investment losses and limited options for financial recovery now that Colorado Bankers Life Insurance has gone into rehabilitation and its owner Greg Lindberg is accused of more criminal fraud charges.

Are You A Retiree Who Suffered Serious Variable Annuity Losses?

Investors File FINRA Lawsuit Seeking Up To $1M In Damages from Ameriprise Financial

For years the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has been cautioning brokers against selling variable life insurance to retirees. The self-regulatory organization (SRO) has even said that certain products, such as deferred variable annuities, could be too risky for many older retirees. Yet that hasn’t stopped many financial advisors from unsuitably recommending that seniors use their retirement money to invest in variable annuities (VAs). Such investments tend to be illiquid and are generally long-term investments, while many older investors, because of their age, are best suited for financial products with shorter-term investment horizons and aren’t too volatile or high-risk. It is important to note that this holds true even with VAs that come with riders specifically for seniors.
