Yvonne Zhong: $900K GWG L Bond Complaint Against Los Gatos Advisor

A recent investor complaint against NI Advisors financial advisor Yvonne Zhong (CRD# 3203120) alleges that she unsuitably recommended an investment in GWG L bonds. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority records show that she is a broker based in Los Gatos, California.

Ms. Zhong’s BrokerCheck report discloses two investor complaints. The most recent, filed in June 2022, alleges that as a representative of NI Advisors, she breached contract, failed in her supervisory duties, and recommended an unsuitable $900,000 investment in GWG L bonds. The pending complaint alleges unspecified damages.

A second investor complaint, filed in 2018, alleged that as an NI Advisors representative, Ms. Zhong misrepresented material information relating to an investment in a real estate investment trust, or REIT. The complaint alleged estimated damages of $25,000 and was denied by the firm.
