Luis Mendoza: Did Truist Advisor Misrepresent Investment?

Potomac, Maryland financial advisor Luis Mendoza (CRD# 4373652) was recently involved in an investor complaint alleging his conduct resulted in losses. Records maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority indicate that he is a broker and an investment advisor with Truist Investment Services.

In February 2023 the complaint reached a settlement of $41,618.96.

An earlier investor complaint, filed in 2008, alleged that as a representative of HSBC Securities, he omitted information regarding the sale of auction rate securities. The complaint resolved with the firm’s repurchase of the securities at par value, for $1,000,000.

A third investor complaint, filed in 2015, alleged that he sold two variable universal life insurance policies “that were not what [the customers] wanted.” The complaint alleged damages of $47,000 and was denied by the firm.

A fourth investor complaint, filed in 2013, alleged that he recommended unsuitable mutual fund investments while at HSBC Securities. The complaint alleged damages of $11,857 and was denied by the firm.
