Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) was sold only to investors outside the U.S. and was supposed to provide certain benefits, such as tax shelters, that were not available to American investors. Financial advisors and stockbrokers across the United States, including Suntrust/Truist, Cetera Investment Services, Ocean Financial Services, and Bankoh Investment Services, sold Northstar Bermuda products.
Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) offered multiple products, including:
In 2018 Northstar Financial Services was sold to a Bermuda company owned by now-convicted financier Greg Lindberg. Northstar was just one of hundreds of insurance and investment companies purchased by Lindberg and his conglomerate, Global Growth.
Soon after buying Northstar, Lindberg “reallocated its assets” to other American companies he owned, according to Bermuda court documents. Northstar Bermuda was not able to meet its obligation to investors, many of whom wanted to liquidate their investment. 2020 court documents showed that investors were owed over $70 million and the company had only about $8 million in cash.
Recovering Northstar Bermuda Losses
Northstar Bermuda investments have not performed as expected, and the company is going through bankruptcy and liquidation. Investors are unable to access their principal and are expected to lose most of their money.
Financial advisers and brokers are required to perform due diligence into the products they sell, understand their client’s risk tolerance, and sell them only suitable investments.
Northstar Bermuda involved significant risk and speculation, but many investors allege that their brokers described Northstar Bermuda as a safe investment comparable to a certificate of deposit (CD) that would provide guaranteed income and preservation of their principal. As a result, some investors put significant amounts of their retirement savings into the company and are now experiencing life-altering financial losses.
When a broker or their firm fails to make suitable recommendations, the investor may be able to recover their losses through arbitration, which involves the use of a neutral third party to oversee the dispute and, if warranted, render a financial award.
Most firms require disputes to be resolved through the FINRA arbitration forum. The process is a faster and less expensive way to resolve disputes compared to using the courts. Our firms represent Northstar Bermuda investors on a contingency fee basis, meaning it costs nothing to hire us, and we only receive a fee if we recover your money for you.
