Lincoln Investment Fined $35,000 for Variable Annuity Supervisory Failures
We are currently investigating allegations made against Lincoln Investment, a Fort Washington, Pennsylvania-based securities brokerage firm. FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) brought a regulatory action against Lincoln Investment, alleging that it failed to adequately supervise the exchange of variable annuities by its representatives. FINRA was concerned that Lincoln Investment failed to monitor annuity exchanges where it was not the previous brokerage firm of record. To settle these allegations, Lincoln Investment agreed to pay a fine of $35,000.
In 2016, FINRA made allegations regarding Lincoln’s failure to supervise consolidated reports from May 2013 to August 2014. To settle these previous allegations, Lincoln Investment agreed to pay a fine of $75,000.
