John Aguilera: Advanced Financial Advisor Receives $240K Complaint

Vista, California financial advisor John Aguilera (CRD# 2066720) recently received an investor complaint alleging that his conduct resulted in six-figure damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that the Osaic Wealth broker and investment advisor was previously registered with SagePoint Financial and is the owner of Advanced Financial Solutions.

Mr. Aguilera’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in October 2023, it alleges that as a representative of SagePoint Financial, he recommended unsuitable investments in products including government bonds, municipal bonds, equities, and mutual funds. The pending complaint alleges damages of more than $240,000.

Advanced Financial Solutions’ website includes a profile of Mr. Aguilera. “John has worked in the financial services industry since 1990,” it states. “Through his experience, he has found that people have become so consumed in everyday business and family concerns that they have inadvertently neglected or postponed their own financial planning at the expense of their family’s security. John assists families and business owners of all income levels in identifying their needs and helping them to develop solutions that can lead to financial security.”

Elsewhere, the website describes Advanced Financial Solutions’ mission to empower its customers to take control of their finances and their futures. “Our mission is accomplished by forming long lasting relationships with our clients, providing top tier service and holding ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and fiduciary duty,” it explains. “We help define your goals and strategize how to meet and exceed them.
