Matthew Chancey: Realta Advisor Faces 6-Figure Complaint

Winter Park, Florida financial advisor Matthew Chancey (CRD# 5645874) recently received an investor complaint alleging that his conduct resulted in damages. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that he is registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Realta Equities and Realta Investment Advisors, respectively.

Mr. Chancey’s BrokerCheck report discloses one investor complaint. Filed in March 2026, it alleges that as a representative of Realta Equities, he made “improper recommendations and other acts and omissions.” The pending complaint alleges damages between $100,000 and $500,000.

Investors should be aware that FINRA rules forbid brokers from misrepresenting or omitting material facts relating to the investments and strategies they recommend to their clients. FINRA Rule 2020 states specifically that no broker shall “effect any transaction in, or induce the purchase or sale of, any security by means of any manipulative, deceptive or other fraudulent device or contrivance.” These acts may also violate FINRA Rule 2010, which stipulates that brokers like Mr. Farmer must “observe high standards of commercial honor and just and equitable principles of trade” in the conduct of their business. Registered representatives who violate these rules may be held liable for damages in the event of losses.

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Matthew Chancey holds 14 years of securities industry experience. Based in Winter Park, Florida, he has been registered as a broker and an investment advisor with Realta Equities and Realta Investment Advisors, respectively, since 2021. His registration history includes Dempsey Lord Smith, Claraphi Advisory Network, Retirement Wealth Advisors, Horter Investment Management, Global Financial Private Capital, and Gradient Investments. His credentials include the passage of five securities industry qualifying exams: the Securities Industry Essentials Examination, or SIE; the Uniform Investment Adviser Law Examination, or Series 65; the Uniform Securities Agent State Law Examination, or Series 63; the General Securities Representative Examination, or Series 7TO; and the Direct Participation Programs Representative Examination, or Series 22. He holds 38 state licenses. (Information current as of March 22, 2026.)
