Jay Wallinger is a Nebraska based securities broker. He has worked in the securities industry for twenty-four years. During his career, he has been registered with three different securities firms.
His Registrations
- VSR Financial Services (1993-2016)
- Summit Brokerage Services (2016-2019)

The Allegations
In March 2017, a customer alleged that Jay Wallinger recommended unsuitable investments and over-concentrated their account in said investments. This case was settled for $330,000 in damages.
What Does This Mean?
Investors who have been invested in securities they are not financially suited for can experience serious financial harm. Most investors do not have the ability to invest suitably on their own. This is why so many investors rely so heavily on their securities brokers to recommend investments that are actually suitable for them. Brokers like Jay Wallinger can determine suitability by analyzing factors like their customer’s financial situation, liquidity needs, and investment objectives.
