Sagepoint Financial, Inc. broker Christopher Bice (CRD# 3222439) is accused of unsuitable investment recommendations. Bice has been registered with Sagepoint Financial, Inc. in Greensboro, Mooresville, and Salisbury, North Carolina since 2005.
Bice was registered with three prior firms between 1999 and 2005 and he was terminated from employment at one brokerage firm. Bice was registered with Sunamerica Securities, Inc. in Phoenix, Arizona from 2003 to 2005, and with A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. St. Louis, Missouri from 2002 to 2003. Prior to that time, Bice was registered with UBS Painewebber Inc. in Weehawken, New Jersey from 1999 to 2002, when he was terminated regarding, “I directed an employee to sign clients’ names to a new account form.”
Bice has been the subject of four customer complaints between 2018 and 2020, one of which was denied, one of which was closed without action, according to his CRD report:
July 2020. “Claimant alleges that a private placement was unsuitable.” The customer is seeking $300,000 in damages and the case is currently pending. This case is regarding real estate securities.
November 2018. “Unsuitable investment recommendations, investment overconcentration, misrepresentation, and failure to supervise.” The customer is seeking $1 million in damages and the case is currently pending. This case is regarding variable annuities.
February 2018. “Unsuitable investment recommendations, investment over-concentration, misrepresentative, and failure to supervise.” The customer is seeking $750,000 in damages and the case is currently pending. This case is regarding variable annuities and 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, Sagepoint Financial, Inc. may be liable for investment or other losses suffered by Bice’s customers.
