Pending Dispute Stems from Colorado Bankers Life Annuity
On November 26, 2024, an investor lodged a dispute alleging that Mr. Martin sold a fixed annuity with Colorado Bankers Life, which “became insolvent.” The dispute, which is still pending, seeks at least $5,000 in alleged damages.
Closed Dispute Also Concerned Annuities
On June 3, 2024, an investor lodged another dispute alleging that Mr. Martin did not properly or thoroughly explain two annuity contracts before sale. The dispute alleged $31,500 in damages and was closed by the firm with no action undertaken.
Why Has FINRA Sanctioned Integrity Alliance?
As his BrokerCheck record reflects, Mr. Martin is a representative of Integrity Alliance. That firm’s BrokerCheck record discloses its history of disciplinary actions. On May 5, 2023, for example, FINRA censured the firm over allegations that it failed to adequately supervise outside brokerage accounts disclosed by its representatives. FINRA imposed a fine of $30,000 on the firm.
Earlier, in 2016, FINRA undertook a disciplinary action stemming from allegations that Integrity Alliance used a form for variable annuity purchases that failed to confirm that customers had been fully informed of their features and fees. “The firm did not have sufficient information,” FINRA found, “to reasonably determine the suitability of the variable annuity purchases.” As a result, it censured the firm and imposed a fine of $45,000.
