Broker Comment
CUSTOMER WAS ADVISED THAT HIS LETTER MADE CLEAR
THAT THE IR HAD DISCUSSED THE TSA INVESTMENT WITH HER AND THAT
THE IR HAD FOLLOWED THE CUSTOMERS INSTRUCTIONS WHEN THE ORDER
WAS ENTERED. THE IR ALSO CLAIMS HE DISCUSSED THE 6% PENALTY AND
THE POTENTIAL MARKET FLUCTUATION RISKS WITH THE VARIABLE
ANNUITY THAT WAS PURCHASED. THE CUSTOMER WAS ADVISED THAT THE
LOSSES SHE CLAIMED WERE DUE TO MARKET FLUCTUATION AND THE
MARKET HAD RECOVERED TO SOME DEGREE SINCE THE LETTER WAS
WRITTEN. THE IR APPEARS TO HAVE PROPERLY DISCLOSED THE FEATURES
OF THE INVESTMENTS SO THE CLAIM WAS DENIED.
