John Morgan, Securities Commissioner of the Texas State Securities Board (TSSB) issued a disciplinary order suspending investment adviser Marvin M Slater of Dallas, TX, for 90 days for the sale of promissory notes issued by Verto Capital Management that he claimed were backed by life settlements.

The TSSB concluded that Slater was not registered with the Securities Commissioner as a dealer or as an agent of a registered dealer when he sold the Verto notes in violation of Section 12A of the Texas Securities Act.

“Just because someone is registered as an investment adviser doesn’t mean he or she can sell securities for a commission,” Commissioner Morgan said.  “There are distinctions between the duties owed to clients by dealers and investment advisers. A key reason is the expectation that an investment adviser will not benefit financially from a client’s investment in a specific product.”
