Former Titan Securities advisor Walter Parker (Parker) has been subject to at least eight customer complaints. According to a BrokerCheck report many of the customer complaints concern alternative investments and direct participation products (DPPs) such as non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs), oil & gas programs, annuities, and equipment leasing programs. The attorneys at Gana Weinstein LLP have extensive experience handling investor losses caused by these types of products.
In addition, in April 2018 FINRA suspended and sanctioned Parker alleging that he made investment recommendations to a customer that were not suitable given her age, risk tolerance, financial experience and liquidity. FINRA found that the customer had little prior experience investing and no experience investing in alternative investments. FINRA alleged that Parker recommended that the customer invest her funds into illiquid, alternative investments and that the customer suffered significant losses in the alternative investments. Due to her investment losses the client was forced to obtain full-time employment.
