Christian Ramsey: $250K Complaint Against QPIA, Ex-Foothill Advisor

Colorado Springs financial advisor Christian Ramsey (CRD# 3038410) recently received an investor complaint alleging that his conduct resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and Securities and Exchange Commission records show that the former Foothill Securities broker is currently registered as an investment advisor with QPIA.

Mr. Ramsey’s BrokerCheck report discloses one recent investor complaint. Filed in June 2025, it alleges that as a representative of Foothill Securities, he “exploited” the customer’s “lack of understanding by selling high-commission, complex, and illiquid alternative investments.” He allegedly urged the customer to rely on his advice “while referencing inflated pricing without disclosing that no true market existed,” and failed to inform the customer of liquidation or mitigation options.

He also allegedly advised the customer to hold unsuitable represents that he misrepresented as “lower risk” even though they had illiquidity and concentration issues, as well as high commissions. “Claimant reasonably relied on Respondents’ superior knowledge and believed they would act in his best interest, particularly given his nearing retirement,” the complaint alleges. “Instead, [Mr. Ramsey and other] Respondents prioritized their own compensation, ignoring regulatory standards for sales of complex products to retail investors.” Finally, the complaint alleges that his misrepresentations and omissions led the customer to invest in and hold unsuitable products, causing “substantial losses.” The pending complaint alleges damages of $250,000.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Christian Ramsey holds 20 years of securities industry experience. Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he has been registered as an investment advisor with QPIA since 2023. His past registrations include GWN Securities, Foothill Securities, QA3 Financial, and Wells Fargo Securities. His credentials include the passage of six securities industry qualifying exams: the Investment Company Products/Variable Contracts Representative Examination, or Series 6TO; the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7; the Investment Company Products/Variable Contracts Representative Examination, or Series 6; the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, or Series 65; and the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, or Series 63. He is licensed in Arizona, California, and Colorado. (Information current as of September 20, 2025.)
