Edward Barfield Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor

Of course, Edward Barfield did not admit to any of the allegations. But regardless of whether an arbitration award was entered, a settlement occurred, or the customer complaint is still pending, the allegations made by customers are red flags which should put all current and former customers of Edward Barfield at Geneos Wealth Management, Inc. and Cetera Advisor Networks LLC on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Edward Barfield has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses. The large number of customer complaints at Geneos Wealth Management, Inc., and Cetera Advisor Networks LLC also raises questions about the brokerage firms’ supervisory practices. If these red flags raise questions, call us and we will inform you of your rights as an investor.
