Jennifer Moenter’s Advice Allegedly Led to Penalties for Client

Jennifer Moenter (CRD #: 6222756), a broker registered with Ameriprise Financial Services, was involved in an investor dispute, according to her BrokerCheck record, accessed on May 2, 2023. Keep reading to learn more about her alleged conduct as a broker.

Investor Dispute

On February 15, 2023, an investor alleged that Jennifer Moenter provided poor advice relating to how he should take a variable annuity’s required minimum distributions. This advice allegedly caused him to incur penalties.

The client sought $74,875.03 in damages but the firm denied the dispute.

Investors should be aware, however, that firms can deny disputes without an external review. Investors can still pursue FINRA arbitration after a denial and potentially recoup their losses.

FINRA Rule 2111

FINRA Rule 2111 requires brokers to evaluate whether an investment or strategy fits their investor’s financial goals. Brokers must examine the information contained in an investor’s profile, such as their tax status, risk tolerance, and overall financial situation.

Investors who feel their losses were caused by unsuitable investment recommendations may be able to recover their funds through FINRA arbitration.

What are Variable Annuities?

Variable annuities are complex investments. These policies can decline in value depending on the performance of the underlying security. Surrender charges, tax penalties, and other fees can make these policies unsuitable.
