Did Justin King Misrepresent a Variable Life Policy?

Justin King (CRD #:5128328), a broker and investment advisor registered with Ameriprise Financial Services, is involved in an investor dispute, according to his BrokerCheck record accessed on February 10, 2022. 

According to the allegations filed on October 16, 2021, Justin King misrepresented a variable life policy purchased in July 2021.

The firm denied the dispute, but investors should know that firms can deny disputes without any external review. It is also important for investors to know that they can still pursue FINRA arbitration and recover their losses following a denial.

Misrepresentations concerning material facts in investment recommendations deprive investors of the information they need to assess risks associated with a particular investment. FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits brokerage firms and stockbrokers from making material misrepresentations or inducing people into buying investments with false statements about their potential benefits. This unethical conduct also violates FINRA Rule 2010, which states that brokers must uphold high standards of commercial honor. 

Losses that can be attributed to a stockbroker’s material misrepresentations of facts may result in a viable securities arbitration claim for damages.
