Integrated Financial Group Investigation | Unsuitable Investments | GPB
Peiffer Wolf has begun an investigation into the brokers at Integrated Financial Group. A number of Brokers at Integrated Financial Group have allegedly recommended GPB Capital Holdings and potentially other alternative investments to investors.
Investors were pitched attractive returns offered GPB and the broker-dealers who sold the GPB Funds. Brokers, however, were motivated by the 8% commission for selling GPB funds. It now appears as if brokers received more than $100 million in commissions.
Furthermore, the notes that were sold are considered private placement, or non-traditional, investments that are not registered with the SEC. These inherently risky investments are often only suitable for sophisticated investors. However, many brokerage firms and financial advisors still sell these products because they offer higher commissions.

Each engagement agreement includes the details of the fee arrangement. Questions about our fee agreements are welcomed and encouraged.
