Dublin, Ohio Securities Attorney For Variable Annuities Investment Disputes
Did Darrell Glynn Frazier Cause You Investment Losses? Darrell Glynn Frazier, a former broker at New York City, New York-based Park Avenue Securities LLC, submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (AWC) in which he agreed to, without admitting or denying, the described penalty and the entry of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) findings that he made misrepresentations in connection with the sale of variable annuities. Mr. Frazier informed customers they would earn a 7% or more return by buying variable annuity products and that the principal amount invested would be guaranteed against loss. Mr. Frazier falsely assured one customer he would not be charged annual fees on his variable annuities and falsely advised another customer that he would only make money from the annuity purchase if the customer made money. FINRA’s findings also stated that some customers questioned Mr. Frazier asking why a particular annuity was not performing as expected and why the values of their annuities were decreasing. Mr. Frazier assured them that they were receiving the 7% return and that their principal was safe and always promised to look into the matter, but he never did. Further, FINRA found that Mr. Frazier often completed or partially completed forms that the customers were required to fill out to apply for a variable annuity contract. Mr. Frazier gave incorrect information; overstating the net worth and income of customers and inaccurately characterizing their risk tolerances. Mr. Frazier often had customers sign undated, blank brokerage forms. The signed, blank forms were found in his files with correspondence clearly instructing customers to sign but not date the blank forms. Consequently, Mr. Frazier willfully violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, FINRA Rules 2010 and 2020, and NASD Rules 2110 and 2120. Mr. Frazier of Dublin, Ohio was prohibited from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Do You Need A Securities Attorney For Variable Annuities Investment Disputes?
