This case is regarding real estate securities and non-traded business development companies (BDCs).
May 2018. “Client alleges that the investments purchased in 2015 were not suitable and he is requesting to liquidate the account(s).” The case is currently pending. This case is regarding real estate securities.
Pursuant to FINRA Rules, member firms are responsible for supervising a broker’s activities during the time the broker is registered with the firm. Therefore, Hornor, Townsend & Kent, Inc. may be liable for investment or other losses suffered by Blanco’s customers.
