In a written complaint received by the Firm on February 17, 2023, addressed to a financial representative of the Firm, client alleged that he was not aware that he purchased a Guaranteed Lifetime Income Annuity (GLIA) in October 2021 from Bankers Life and Casualty Company (BLC), an affiliated insurance company. Client alleged he believed the assets used to purchase the annuity were being held in cash. Client requested to cancel the policy and a return of his funds. While the annuity sold to the client was not a security and was issued by BLC, the Firm is reporting this complaint because the source of funding for the annuity came from the sale of securities recommended by a financial representative of the Firm.
