Did Michael J. Wiseman Cause You Investment Losses?
Michael Jeffery Wiseman, broker formerly employed by Boston, Massachusetts-based LPL Financial LLC, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent in which he agreed to, without admitting or denying, the described penalties and the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that he made appearances on a talk radio show in which he made statements relating to a variable annuity that were unfair and unbalanced. During several of his radio appearances, Mr. Wiseman generally referenced a variable annuity he had recommended to his clients. Mr. Wiseman’s comments focused on the guarantees offered by the variable annuity, particularly the guarantee against loss of principal, claiming the investor “can’t lose money.” During some of those appearances, Mr. Wiseman noted that the variable annuity was not Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guaranteed and that the investor would have to hold the product for 10 years so as to receive the guarantee against loss of principal. Mr. Wiseman then encouraged listeners to call him for more information about the product, stating “we’ll find out if this is an appropriate investment for you.” In discussing the variable annuity, however, Mr. Wiseman did not explain that any such guarantees were dependent on the paying ability of the annuity’s issuer. FINRA found, Mr. Wiseman also did not disclose other material aspects of the investments, such as the negative tax and investment consequences resulting from early withdrawals and the fees, expenses, and surrender charges that investors may need to pay. Mr. Wiseman of Hermitage, Pennsylvania was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 10 business days.
