Joe Natoli: New York Fines Park Avenue Securities Advisor

New York City financial advisor Joe Natoli (CRD# 5364851) was recently sanctioned by the New York State Department of Financial Services in connection with alleged misconduct. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is a broker and an investment advisor with Park Avenue Securities.

Mr. Natoli’s BrokerCheck report discloses the recent sanction against him. Filed in October 2023, the disclosure states that he admitted “that he provided materially incorrect and untrue information” in three life insurance applications submitted to the Department. The findings go on to state that the materially incorrect or untrue information constituted a failure to disclose “that he was convicted of a misdemeanor in Greenville County, South Carolina, on or about August 2, 2001.” In connection with these findings, he was issued a fine of $2,250.

A second disclosure on Mr. Natoli’s BrokerCheck report concerns an investor complaint against him. Filed in 2015, the complaint alleged that as a representative of NYLife Securities, Mr. Natoli submitted whole life insurance documents “with the customer’s purported signature” even though the customer “never signed a delivery receipt or illustration” associated with the purchase. The complaint reached a settlement of $6,233.04.
