Message:

I am looking for a new financial advisor as I moved from Florida several years ago, my advisor in Fl. has since left the firm of Kovack Securities and I need a local advisor. I read Mr. Vazirani’s story in AZ Republic yesterday. Need advisor with his expertise as I have annuities and investments accounts which I know need review and changes to meet my current needs. I will appreciate your consideration for an appointment to discuss as soon as possible with myself and my sister Jo Ann Carugno as I no longer drive. Thank you.

Ladies and gentleman I wanted to thank all of you for your support and good wishes in my endeavor to protect seniors and retirees from a derailed retirement as it relates to complex proprietary Fixed Indexed Annuities. As it relates to the article above, I wanted to provide you clarity on my professional background.

I have been in the financial services industry since 1994. I have an active insurance and annuity license in over 42 states. I also have an active Series 65 license (Investment Advisor Rep) with the SEC since 2008 (no consumer complaints).

As it relates to Patricia Bell, I wanted to clarify that I was not the soliciting agent on that annuity. After all was said and done Mrs. Bell decided to keep the annuity based on facts, guarantees and that it was in her best interest.

As it relates to Mr. Julian Sanchez we did a conference call with the insurance company and once the insurance company confirmed the guarantees that his annuity offered and it matched up with all the information that we had provided him at the seminar and in the binder that we provide to all of our attendees, at that point Mr. Sanchez provided us with a hand written letter exonerating us from any wrong doing and withdrawing his complaint.

As it stated in the article we were willing to offer full refunds without any penalty to our clients as an act of good faith even though there was no wrong doing on our part.

We highly encourage you to go to the Better Business Bureau website where we have over 350 reviews and an A+ rating with the BBB over the last 15 years. Click Here

Client Comments re: Arizona Republic article and Fixed Indexed Annuities reads:

Date: September 10, 2018 at 8:33:30 AM MST Subject: Our Perspective

Anil:  We want you to know we stand behind you 100 percent as our financial advisor. The story in The Arizona Republic on Sunday, September 9th did you a total disservice. They used you as a source for background information and then cited two disgruntled former clients to make it look like you are just like the people who you were talking about.

Simply stated, you and Jon were responsible for us purchasing multiple annuities through your firm. You or Jon never led us to believe that we could expect high returns. In fact, you pointed out that there is a minimum upside potential, but no downside risk to principal. And, that’s exactly what we wanted; guaranteed income for the rest of our lives.

We clearly remember you telling us that the products were not FDIC insured and were based solely on the financial health of the insurance companies. You pointed out that you only suggest products from the top tier insurance companies. We specifically recall you telling us there were fees and a sales commission to you and your office. In other words, we were never misled by you or anyone else in your office.

We came to you with a specific objective; we wanted to ensure we could get our money back; we weren’t interested in making more money. Thanks again to you and Jon for caring enough to help us live out the rest of our lives in financial security.
