Meyer Wilson Investigates Investment Adviser Jeffrey Lewis Gitterman for Unsuitable Investment Recommendations

Jeffrey Lewis Gitterman (CRD # 1910332) is an investment adviser with Vanderbilt Securities, LLC. He was formerly a broker and investment adviser with Triad Advisors, Inc. Gitterman has been the subject of eight customer disputes since 2019. Many of the allegations stem from customer losses as a result of unsuitable investment recommendations. 

Unsuitable investment recommendations involve advising investors to allocate their funds into financial products or strategies that do not align with their risk tolerance, financial goals, or investment profile, potentially resulting in poor performance, excessive risk, or financial harm. Such recommendations neglect to take into consideration the investor's circumstances and needs, undermining the suitability and appropriateness of the suggested investments.
