On June 26, 2023, an investor alleged that Kurt Kleinle misrepresented a variable annuity. The alleged activity took place on May 10, 2023.

Following a denial, investors may still be able to recover their funds via FINRA arbitration.

What is a Variable Annuity? 

Variable annuities are complex investments. They are insurance products that come with an investment component. The associated fees, surrender charges, and potential tax liability can negate any supposed benefits they offer. Furthermore, the risk associated with their investments makes them unsuitable for many investors. 

FINRA Rule 2020

FINRA Rule 2020 prohibits the use of manipulation, deception, and other fraudulent methods to influence investors’ decisions. This includes the misrepresentation or omission of material information, such as an investment’s potential returns, risks, or limitations.
