Iorio Altamirano LLP is investigating claims on behalf of Independent Financial Group, LLC customers after the firm was censured and fined $200,000 by FINRA.

The sanctions involve supervisory failures related to a registered representative’s unsuitable recommendations to customers, including seniors. In addition to the censure and fine, the firm also agreed to implement supervisory systems and written supervisory procedures reasonably designed to, among other things, achieve compliance with suitability requirements for alternative investments. The registered representative is no longer with the firm.

Alternative investments include non-traded real estate investment trusts (REITs) and structured notes.
