Collin Fingon: Cetera Advisor Fired by Bright Future Wealth

Rutland, Vermont financial advisor Collin Fingon (CRD# 4832770) was recently fired by a former member firm in connection with alleged rule violations. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that the former Bright Future Wealth Management broker is currently registered with Cetera Advisors.

Mr. Fingon’s BrokerCheck report discloses his termination from Bright Future Wealth Management. Filed in September 2024, it states that the firm fired him in connection with allegations that he violated internal procedures and securities regulations regarding “selling away, off-channel communications, outside business activities and failure to respond and participate in an internal investigation.”

A second disclosure on his BrokerCheck report concerns an investor complaint against him. Filed in 2008, it alleges that as a representative of Securian Financial Services, he provided tax advice that resulted in an additional tax liability. The complaint reached a settlement of $8,661.

Bright Future Wealth Management’s website includes a page describing the firm’s mission and values. “Our client’s financial concerns and goals are the focal points of our business,” it explains. “We create an environment based on trust and long-term relationships to help our clients achieve these goals.  Our firm is committed to always conducting business in the best interest of our clients.”

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Collin Fingon holds 20 years of securities industry experience. Based in Rutland, Vermont, he has been registered as a broker and an investment adviser with Cetera since 2011 and 2024, respectively. His past registrations include Bright Futures Wealth Management, H. Beck, and Securian 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 holds 20 state licenses. (Information current as of October 12, 2024.)
