David Glienke: $100K Complaint Against ClearCoast Wealth Advisor

A recent investor complaint against Westlake Village, California financial advisor David Glienke (CRD# 5502866) alleges that his investment advice resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is a broker and an investment advisor with Western International Securities, doing business as ClearCoast Wealth Management.

Mr. Glienke’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in December 2023, it alleges that as a representative of Western International Securities, he misrepresented a corporate bond investment. The pending complaint alleges damages of $100,000.

ClearCoast Wealth Management’s website includes a profile of Mr. Glienke that describes him as the firm’s president. “He is passionate about seeking new ways to enhance the services he and his associates are able to offer clients,” it states. “While his passion for investing dates back to high school, David has been a professional investment manager since 2008.”
