<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FINRA has barred stockbroker David A. Jenson from the securities industry. FINRA has barred Mr. Jenson from associating with any FINRA member firm in any capacity because Mr. Jenson refused to provide information and documents connected with FINRA’s investigation into whether Mr. Jenson recommended customers invest in an unsuitable concentration of church bonds. Mr. Jenson has been a financial advisor at Great Nation Investment Corporation in Amarillo, Texas, since September 2006.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>If you have suffered financial losses investing with David A. Jenson or suspect that Mr. Jenson did not have your best interest in mind when recommending investments, including church bonds, </em><a href="/contact-us/"><em>contact</em></a><em> our New York </em><a href="/securities-arbitration/"><em>securities arbitration</em></a><em> law firm for a free and confidential review of your account or annuity contract.</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="/about-us/">Iorio Law PLLC</a><em> represents investors that have disputes with their financial advisors or brokerage firms, such as Great Nation Investment Corporation.</em></p>



<h2 id="h-finra-letter-of-acceptance-waiver-and-consent-no-2019060783601" class="wp-block-heading">FINRA Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent No. 2019060783601</h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">David A. Jenson and FINRA entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver, and Consent (“AWC”) on January 22, 2021, after Mr. Jenson refused to provide information and documents in connection with FINRA’s investigation into whether Mr. Jenson recommended customers invest in an unsuitable concentration of church bonds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.iorio.law/practice-areas/securities-arbitration/common-claims/failure-to-diversify-overconcentration/">Overconcentration</a> is often the result of a stockbroker making unsuitable investment recommendations to an investor. A stockbroker’s failure to diversify an investment portfolio increases the risk that the investor will suffer losses in their account. The goal of diversification is straight-forward: spreading out investment risk to minimize the risk of loss.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On December 18, 2020, in connection with the investigation, FINRA sent a request to Mr. Jenson to produce information and documents pursuant to FINRA Rule 8210. Mr. Jenson reportedly stated during a phone call with FINRA on December 18, 2020, that he would not provide the requested information or documents at any time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By refusing to provide the information or documents, Mr. Jenson violated FINRA Rule 8210. Accordingly, FINRA barred him from associating with any broker-dealer in all capacities.</p>

<h2 id="h-great-nation-investment-corporation-supervisory-duties" class="wp-block-heading">Great Nation Investment Corporation – Supervisory Duties </h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Brokerage firms like Great Nation Investment Corporation must properly supervise financial advisors and customer accounts. Brokerage firms must also establish and maintain a reasonably designed system to oversee account activity, such as suitable investment recommendations and overconcentration risks, to ensure compliance with securities laws and industry regulations. When a brokerage firm fails to supervise their financial advisors or the investment account activity sufficiently, they may be liable for investment losses sustained by customers.</p>
