Oklahoma City financial advisor Karen Cunningham (CRD# 1134960) recently received an investor complaint alleging six-figure damages.

Ms. Cunningham’s BrokerCheck report discloses multiple investor complaints. The most recent, filed in August 2022, alleges that as a representative of Kestra Investment Services, she recommended an unsuitable investment in the Trust in Noble Royalty Access Fund IV, failed to make disclosures regarding commissions and risks, and misrepresented material facts relating to the investment. The pending complaint alleges damages of $150,000. 

An earlier investor complaint, filed in 2018, alleges that as a Kestra representative, she recommended an oil and gas product that suffered losses. The complaint alleged unspecified damages and was denied by the firm. 

A third investor complaint, filed in 1998, alleged that she made “incorrect” mutual fund purchases while at The Advisors Group. The complaint reached a settlement of $45,065.
