FINRA Reportedly Bars Brett Ashy, Mississippi Financial Advisor

According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), on February 7 the regulator issued a Letter of Acceptance, waiver and consent (AWC) in which Brett Alexander Ashy (CRD #5794420, Jackson, Mississippi) was reportedly barred from association with any FINRA member in all capacities.

FINRA was reportedly investigating Ashy for a customer complaint concerning an alleged unauthorized transaction. Since Ashy reportedly refused to appear for FINRA on-the record testimony, he was consequently barred from the securities industry.

According to his FINRA BrokerCheck report, Brett Ashy was registered with MWA Financial Services in Jackson, MS from October 2015 until he was discharged in February 2016. Prior to that, he worked for NY Life Securities in Ridgeland, MS from January 2011 until he resigned in September 2014 after “violating company policy requiring genuine customer signatures on variable annuity policy delivery receipts, and for improperly sharing variable annuity commissions with an unregistered person.”

For FINRA’s full findings, see FINRA Case #2017053798601.
