Josiah Jazwa’s FINRA BrokerCheck report lists a pending written customer complaint alleging unsuitable recommendations involving variable annuity and insurance products.
The complaint was received on June 24, 2026, and reports $150,000 in alleged damages. It identifies Madison Avenue Securities LLC as the employing firm when the activities occurred. The disclosure does not identify the matter as an arbitration or civil lawsuit. (FINRA)
What Is Jazwa’s Response?
Jazwa, CRD No. 7192653, states in the disclosure that he acted in a support capacity and was not the registered representative associated with the recommendation and sale at issue.
The report lists the complaint as pending, not as a finding of wrongdoing or a settlement. (FINRA)
Why the Recommendation Deserves a Careful Review
An annuity should be evaluated by more than the income projection presented during a sales meeting.
FINRA cautions that annuities can be complex and costly. Variable annuities can expose investors to market losses, ongoing expenses, and surrender charges for early withdrawals. Understanding those features is especially important when an investor expects ready access to retirement savings. (FINRA)
For someone concerned about a similar recommendation, we suggest starting with these questions:
- What financial goal was the product supposed to address?
- How were fees and withdrawal restrictions explained?
- What alternatives were discussed?
- Did the purchase replace an existing annuity or insurance policy?
- Who made the recommendation, and who handled the application?
These questions are a starting point for review, not additional allegations about Jazwa.
Documents to Gather Before a Consultation
If you have concerns about an annuity or insurance recommendation, consider assembling:
- The application and contract.
- Product illustrations and sales presentations.
- Statements showing premiums, withdrawals, and current value.
- Documents concerning any replacement or exchange.
- Emails and messages discussing costs, guarantees, or access to funds.
Write down what you understood you were buying and when you first noticed a difference between that understanding and the contract.
