Jason Ferneau: Emerson Advisor Listed in Inspired Healthcare Filing

Denver, Colorado financial advisor Jason Ferneau (CRD# 6136562) is listed in a Form D filing for Inspired Healthcare Capital, a senior living development company that recently entered bankruptcy. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is currently registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Emerson Equity, doing business as Ferneau Asset Management.

According to an InvestmentNews report, Inspired Healthcare Capital sold private placement offerings and alternative investments “through a network of independent contractor broker-dealers,” reportedly receiving “more than $100 million in fees and commissions” for investments that later ceased making distributions to investors. Mr. Ferneau’s broker-dealer firm, Emerson Equity, was Inspired Healthcare’s broker-dealer and helped the company raise equity “through the marketing and sale of certain securities.” The firm is currently under a court order to produce documents relating to the sale of these securities.

As InvestmentNews reports, the investments issued by Inspired Healthcare—and sold by Emerson Equity and other broker-dealers—include private placements, Delaware Statutory Trusts, “and other private vehicles.” The publication notes that Emerson Equity was previously the “lead seller of private bonds issued by GWG Holdings, which went bankrupt in 2022 after defaulting on more than $1 billion in so-called L bonds.” Another InvestmentNews report cites a sources suggesting that the brokers who sold investments in Inspired Healthcare, and who received commissions for their work, “are going to face claw backs… By the time Inspired Healthcare gets liquidated and the trustees and lawyers all get paid, there’s not going to be much, if anything, left for investors in these private placements.”

That report also describes a court filing outlining how Inspired Healthcare’s leadership spent the money they earned. “Money was used by former management to acquire luxury cars, a condo in Las Vegas, and for significant non-business expenses and purchases,” the report filing states, “including the purchase of real estate titled in a non-debtor company’s name owned by [founder Luke] Lee and his wife and the payment of personal expenses.”

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Jason Ferneau holds 12 years of securities industry experience. Based in Denver, Colorado, he has been registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Emerson Equity since 2025, doing business as Ferneau Asset Management. His past registrations include Kingswood Capital Partners, Benchmark Investments, BFC Planning, and Berthel Fisher & Company Financial Services. His credentials include the passage of three securities industry qualifying exams:  the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Uniform Combined State Law Examination, or Series 66; and the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7. He holds 18 state licenses. (Information current as of March 20, 2026.)
