Adam Donlevie: Tremblay Financial Advisor Denies Bond Complaint

A recent investor complaint against Santa Barbara financial advisor Adam Donlevie (CRD# 5369320) alleges that his conduct resulted in five-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is a broker and an investment advisor with Centaurus Financial, doing business as Tremblay Financial Services.

Mr. Donlevie’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in June 2023, it alleges  that as a representative of Centaurus Financial, he recommended a corporate bond investment that was “high-risk, illiquid and unsuitable” for the customer. The pending complaint alleges damages of $45,000.

In a statement included with the pending complaint’s disclosure, Mr. Donlevie described the allegations as meritless and added that he “vehemently” denies them. The investment in question, he asserted, was suitable for the customer, based on their investment profile, and offered only after the customer’s review of related materials. “The customer confirmed in writing that he not only received the requisite investment documentation/disclosures, but that he fully understood the characteristics and risks of the investments,” Mr. Donlevie stated. He concluded the statement by noting that he put the customer’s interests first and plans to vigorously defend himself against the allegations.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Adam Donlevie holds 16 years of securities industry experience. Based in Santa Barbara, Westlake Village, and Santa Maria, California, he has been a broker and an investment advisor with Centaurus Financial since 2007 and 2009, respectively, doing business as Tremblay Financial Services. His credentials include the passage of three securities industry qualifying exams: the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7; the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; and the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, or Series 66. He is licensed in California, the District of Columbia, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Utah. (Information current as of August 5, 2023.)
