Last Updated: March 2026 — Coral Gables, FL
Ignacio Carlos Tejera (CRD# 4422696) of Truist Investment Services, Inc., has accumulated three customer disputes on his FINRA BrokerCheck record, and a FINRA arbitration panel awarded one investor $2,751,820.60 in March 2026 after finding that Tejera recommended high-risk and unsuitable NorthStar investment products.
Tejera, who is registered with both Truist Investment Services and Truist Advisory Services in Coral Gables, Florida, spent years directing clients into NorthStar fixed rate investment contracts through SunTrust Investment Services before a corporate sale left investors unable to recover their money. Between the 2026 arbitration award and an earlier $300,000 settlement, total investor recoveries tied to Tejera’s recommendations now exceed $3 million.

What Has Ignacio Tejera Been Accused Of?
Investors accused broker Ignacio Tejera of recommending NorthStar fixed rate investment contracts, a type of guaranteed investment contract (GIC), that he sold through Truist Investment Services without adequately disclosing the risks involved. In September 2024, a client filed a FINRA arbitration claim (Case 24-01931) alleging high-risk and unsuitable recommendations, and the panel awarded $2,751,820.60 in March 2026.
An earlier complaint filed in October 2020 raised the same allegations involving NorthStar products, and that dispute settled for $300,000 in January 2022.
Tejera addressed the accusations in a broker statement on his BrokerCheck record.
He claimed that NorthStar’s fixed rate investment contracts had been approved for sale on the SunTrust platform for many years and that the product’s features and track record appeared to align perfectly with his clients’ investment needs and objectives. He blamed subsequent events arising from the later sale of NorthStar to a different entity for adversely impacting the company’s ability to honor contract holder redemption requests.
