Another Cetera Broker Accused of Using Shared Cultural Affinity To Gain Trust of Investors of Chinese Descent
HOUSTON, April 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- More investors of Chinese descent are suing broker-dealer Cetera because of losses they sustained in allegedly unsuitable investments. The claimants, who live in California, are seeking up to $1,000,000 in damages. They contend that their Cetera Investment Services broker John Yin (Haiguang Yin), who they met through East West Bank, used their mutual cultural affinity to gain their trust. He then allegedly overconcentrated all of their assets in high-risk, illiquid private placements that were unsuitable for them given their low risk tolerance level.
This was an aggressive portfolio strategy contrary to the sound financial plan with a minimal amount of risk that these claimants were promised. There were several private placements that Cetera recommended to them, including the non-traded real estate investment trusts (non-traded REITs) Cole Capital and Arc Realty Finance, which has suspended distributions.

In their non-traded REIT fraud lawsuit, the claimants are alleging unsuitability, concentration, gross lack of supervision, and misrepresentations and omissions. Not only that, but Cetera purportedly did not give these investors account statements or fulfill its affirmative duty to provide them with accurate information.
