Randall Gladden and Securities Equity Group
Have you lost money with financial advisor J. Randall Gladden from Aliso Viejo, California? We are currently investigating allegations made by FINRA (the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) against Randall Gladden. FINRA alleges that Gladden sold $2.1 million worth of notes or “units” in the Church Development Fund, LLC, and the Church Fund, LLC, both of which Randall was responsible for managing and operating.
It was alleged that Gladden did not have permission from his brokerage firm, Securities Equity Group, to sell the Church Development Fund notes or units to his clients, which violates FINRA rules. The Church Development Fund was purported to make loans to churches, including for real estate. FINRA seeks to punish Randall Gladden for these sales.
- Randall Gladden has been a registered representative and financial advisor with Securities Equity Group from April 2002 to the present. He was worked in branch offices in Aliso Viejo and El Cajon, California.
Broker-dealers like Securities Equity Group have a responsibility to adequately supervise all representatives who are registered through their firm, including investments sold by their registered representatives. Broker-dealers also must take steps to ensure that their financial advisors follow all securities rules and regulations, as well as internal firm policies. When broker-dealers fail to adequately supervise their registered representatives, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.
