Investors who experience misrepresentation regarding surrender charges, fees, or other material terms of variable annuities may be entitled to pursue recovery through FINRA arbitration. Variable annuities often contain complex fee structures and surrender charge schedules that must be clearly disclosed to investors. Failure to adequately explain these charges before a purchase may constitute unsuitable recommendations or misrepresentation.
Pattern of Complaints / Risk Factors
While each case is unique, complaints of this type may indicate concerns related to inadequate disclosure of surrender charges, misrepresentation of product features, or unsuitable investment recommendations. Variable annuities are complex insurance products with significant fees and surrender penalties that can last for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

The complaint alleges that Jason S. Min misled a customer regarding variable annuity surrender charges on policies purchased in May and June 2025. The customer claims he was not properly informed about the surrender charge provisions before purchasing the annuities. The matter is currently pending and has not been resolved.
Q2: Can investors recover losses involving NYLIFE Securities LLC?
Yes. Investors who suffered losses due to broker misconduct, misrepresentation, or inadequate disclosure at NYLIFE Securities LLC may be entitled to recover damages through FINRA arbitration. Securities laws require brokers to provide accurate and complete information about investment products, including all fees, charges, and material terms. An experienced securities attorney can evaluate your claim and explain your recovery options.
Q3: What is FINRA arbitration?
FINRA arbitration is a dispute resolution process administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. It is designed to resolve investment-related disputes between investors and brokers or brokerage firms. The process is typically faster and less expensive than going to court. A panel of arbitrators reviews evidence and renders a binding decision. Most cases settle before reaching a final hearing.
Q4: What does “unsuitable investment” mean?
An unsuitable investment is one that does not align with an investor’s financial situation, investment objectives, risk tolerance, or time horizon. Brokers have a legal obligation to recommend investments that are suitable for their clients. Variable annuities, with their high fees and long surrender charge periods, may be unsuitable for investors who need liquidity, have limited assets, or are elderly. Failing to adequately explain these features may constitute unsuitable recommendations.
Q5: How do I look up a broker on BrokerCheck?
Visit FINRA’s BrokerCheck website at brokercheck.finra.org. You can search by the broker’s name or CRD number. The report will display the broker’s employment history, professional qualifications, registrations, and any disclosure events such as customer complaints, regulatory actions, or criminal history. Reviewing a broker’s BrokerCheck record is an essential step before investing.
Q6: What should I do if I suspect broker misconduct?
If you suspect misconduct, take the following steps: (1) Document all account statements, trade confirmations, and communications with your broker; (2) File a written complaint with the brokerage firm’s compliance department; (3) Report the issue to FINRA or your state securities regulator; (4) Consult with a securities attorney who can evaluate whether you have grounds for a FINRA arbitration claim. Time limits apply, so it is important to act promptly.
