SEC has barred Ash Narayan from the securities industry
Former financial adviser Ash Narayan agreed to be barred from associating with brokerage or advisory firms to settle regulators' allegations that he secretly received nearly $2 million from companies that he invested his professional athlete clients in for at least five years.
Mr. Narayan, who was managing director of the Irvine, Calif., office of RGT Wealth Advisors, a Dallas firm with about $4.3 billion in assets under management, was temporarily suspended by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards in October, pending investigation of the allegations.
In February, RGT Wealth Advisors terminated Mr. Narayan, who had worked there since 1997, according to the SEC complaint. The alleged fraud took place between 2010 and early 2016, a period where he directed $33 million to a company he was heavily involved with and knew was in poor financial condition.
Investors Have the Right to Recover Their Losses
When investments are sold by brokerage firms licensed by FINRA, they are subject to the laws that FINRA enforces. The brokerage firms are responsible for ensuring that their brokers are trading fairly, ethically and in the best interest of their clients. Ideally, they would accomplish this through careful supervision. Unfortunately, too often this supervision has been inadequate to fully protect investors. If you purchased any investments through a representative of a registered brokerage firm and suffered loses through negligence or fraud, it immediately puts the brokerage firm at fault for failing to supervise their broker. FINRA law then dictates that you can hold the firm legally liable to recover your damages.
