Date: March 26, 2013
Category: Customer Dispute
Allegations: CLIENT ALLEGES HER FINANCIAL ADVISOR GAVE HER INCORRECT INFORMATION TO MAKE HER FINANCIAL DECISIONS. TIME FRAME: AUGUST 1, 2012 TO AUGUST 30, 2012.
Broker Comment: THE CLAIMANT WAS A CLIENT OF MINE FOR MANY YEARS AND DECIDED TO MOVE THE BULK OF HER QUALIFIED ASSETS TO A NEW FIRM IN 2011. LAST SUMMER SHE CONTACTED ME TO CONFIRM THE SALES CHARGE EXPIRATION (CDSC) BECAUSE SHE WISHED TO SURRENDER HER TWO ANNUITIES. CLAIMANT HAD EXCHANGED THE ORIGINAL ANNUITY SHE PURCHASED OVER 13 YEARS AGO FOR THE TWO SHE HELD WITH ME. NEITHER THE UBS STATEMENT NOR GENWORTH'S STATEMENT REFLECTED THE ORIGINAL COST BASIS FROM THE ORIGINAL ANNUITY PURCHASE THAT WAS ULTIMATELY 1035'D INTO THE TWO NEW CONTRACTS. HOWEVER, THE ENTIRE PURPOSE OF A 1035 EXCHANGE IS TO AVOID TAKING THE GAIN AT THE TIME OF THE 1035 EXCHANGE. IT IS A DEFERRED GAIN. WE DO NOT RENDER TAX ADVICE, NOR DID SHE ASK ME FOR ANY OPINION AT ALL WHEN SHE DIRECTED ME TO SEND HER THE LIQUIDATION PAPERWORK. SHE GAVE ME INSTRUCTIONS TO SELL. SHE HAS BOTH AN ACCOUNTANT AND AN ATTORNEY THAT SHE WORKS WITH AS WELL AS A NEW ADVISOR.
