Leizl Lacida Subject of an Investor Dispute

Leizl Lacida (CRD #: 6393273), a broker registered with NYLife Securities, is the subject of an investor dispute. This is according to her BrokerCheck record, accessed on June 21, 2024. Details concerning this dispute are provided below. 

Investor Dispute

On April 11, 2024, an investor alleged that Leizl Lacida recommended that they surrender a variable annuity in order to fund a fixed annuity. The firm alleges the fixed annuity policies were not properly authorized by the client. The dispute was settled for $54,087.06. 

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 this type of illiquid investment makes it unsuitable for many investors. 

Background Information

  • Series 63 Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination 
  • SIE – Securities Industry Essentials Examination 
  • Series 6 Investment Company Products / Variable Contracts Representative Examination
