Alexander Leon: FINRA Investigates Signature Securities Advisor

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority recently initiated an investigation against Brooklyn financial advisor Alexander Leon (CRD# 2336148) in connection with alleged disclosure failures. FINRA records show that Mr. Leon is currently registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Flagstar Advisors and Signature Securities Group Corporation, respectively.

Mr. Leon’s BrokerCheck report discloses the recently announced FINRA investigation.
