Buck Jones: REC Complaint Against MML Advisor

A recent investor complaint against Virginia Beach financial advisor Buck Jones (CRD# 6138651) alleges that his investment recommendation caused harm. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is currently registered as a broker and an investment advisor with MML Investors Services, also known as MassMutual.

Mr. Jones’ BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in April 2024, it alleges that as a representative of MassMutual, he sold investments in Renewable Energy Credits as “tax savings investments” when this was not the case, and that these investments “harmed” the customer financially. The pending complaint alleges unspecified damages.

MassMutual’s website includes a profile of Mr. Jones that describes his background and philosophy. As it notes, his specialties include insurance strategies, financial education, charitable giving, business succession planning, and retirement planning. “Whether your goals include preparing for milestone life events such as retirement, business succession planning, or formulating a risk management strategy I promise the highest level of attention, insight and integrity,” he writes. “I am commit[t]ed to building relationships that will last a lifetime.”

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Buck Jones holds 10 years of securities industry experience. Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he has been a broker and an investment advisor with MML Investors Services since 2018 and 2020, respectively. He was previously registered with Northwestern Mutual Investment Services in Virginia Beach from 2013 until 2018. His credentials include the passage of four securities industry qualifying exams: the Investment Company Products/Variable Contracts Representative Examination, or Series 6; the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, or Series 63; and the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, or Series 65.
