Israels & Neuman Files Claim Filed Against Cetera Advisors

PORTLAND, OREGON, USA, August 10, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Israels & Neuman, PLC announces that it has filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim against Cetera Advisors on behalf of an aggrieved investor from Klamath Falls, Oregon. The claim was filed in Portland, Oregon.

The claim alleges that the investor was serviced by one of Cetera Advisors’ representatives in Oregon, George C. Merhoff, Jr., who is alleged to have recommended numerous high risk investments in oil and energy stocks, including Linn Energy, Pengrowth Energy, and Amerigas Partners, which proved to be disastrous when oil prices tumbled. The claim also alleges that Merhoff recommended a number of illiquid alternative investments (including Cypress Income Funds and ICON 12) while George Merhoff was with a prior firm, Pacific West Securities.

The claim further alleges that Merhoff made a number of unsuitable investment recommendations to his client, and that this resulted in substantial investment losses. Merhoff and Cetera Advisors had also previously been the subject of a regulatory action by the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation, which alleged that Merhoff inappropriately concentrated his clients’ investments in oil and energy stocks.
