Did You Suffer Investment Losses While Working With Former Independent Financial Group Broker Armando Roman? Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas Want to Talk To You

Our broker fraud attorneys are continuing to investigate claims of losses involving ex-Independent Financial Group registered representative Armando Roman. The former Arizona stockbroker is still a registered investment adviser with AXIOM Founders Family Office.

Several months ago, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel awarded $1M in compensatory damages to one customer for portfolio losses from allegedly unsuitable private placement recommendations by Roman. The investments involved included:

• FS KKR Capital Corporation III
• Strategic Storage Trust
• Griffin-American Healthcare REIT III
• American Realty Capital Trust V
• NorthStar Healthcare Income
• American Realty Capital Healthcare II
• Walton US land Fund 3
• CION Investment Corp.
• Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT II

A number of these investments are Direct Participation Programs (DPPs), which are illiquid, high-risk, and cannot be traded on a market exchange. They are unsuitable for many conservative and low-risk investors.  According to the claimant’s investment loss recovery claim, Independent Financial Group allegedly breached its fiduciary duty, committed fraud was negligent, and violated state and federal securities laws. Armando Roman’s CRD shows that this is not the first time one of his customers has stepped forward accusing him of unsuitability.
