Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) Public Disclosure confirms that Chevalier is referenced in four more customer initiated investment related disputes pertaining to allegations of Chevalier’s violative conduct during the time that he was associated with MetLife, Capital Management Company and MSI Financial Services Inc. Particularly, a customer initiated investment related arbitration claim involving Chevalier’s conduct was settled for $5,000.00 in damages founded on accusations that Chevalier sold the customer’s mutual fund investment from the customer’s account without the customer’s permission.

On October 8, 2013, another customer initiated investment related complaint involving Chevalier’s activities was settled to resolve allegations that Chevalier misrepresented features of a variable annuity. Thereafter, a customer filed an investment related complaint concerning Chevalier’s conduct where the customer requested damages estimated to exceed $5,000.00 supported by accusations that Chevalier engaged in fraudulent activities or misappropriated the customer’s funds pertaining to brokerage and insurance products.
