December 2018-Pacific Grove, CA
According to publicly available records Jon R. Pariser , a former stockbroker who was last registered with Independent Financial Group , and before that SWS Financial Services, disclose a recent regulatory event barring him from the securities industry, 3 currently pending and 3 prior customer disputes, and a termination from employment.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is the agency that licenses and regulates stockbrokers and brokerage firms. FINRA requires brokers and brokerage firms to report customer complaints and disputes as well as regulatory sanctions. In addition brokers are required to disclose certain financial matters such as personal bankruptcies, judgments and liens.
In 10/2018 FINRA permanently barred Pariser from the securities industry to resolve allegations that he failed to cooperate with a FINRA investigation into his referral of customers to an individual who was not registered to sell securities and who may have recommended or sold unsuitable securities to them.
In the three currently pending FINRA arbitrations , customers of Independent Financial Group allege that Pariser recommended that they purchase promissory notes from individuals not affiliated with Independent Financial Group. They seek combined damages of more than $2.7 million. In 6/2014 Pariser was discharged by SWS Financial Services who alleged that he had utilized unauthorized discretion in customer accounts.
