Mary Christine Beslagic

(CRD #5966835, Port Orchard, Washington)

December 12, 2024 – An AWC was issued in which Mary Christine Beslagic was assessed a deferred fine of $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in all capacities for two months. Without admitting or denying the findings, Beslagic consented to the sanctions and to the entry of findings that she willfully violated Rule 15l-1(a)(1) under the Exchange Act (Reg BI) by recommending that customers of her member firm invest proceeds of their home equity loan in mutual funds. The findings stated that Beslagic was aware of the customers’ intended use of their liquified home equity proceeds and that the customer had several near term liquidity needs. The mutual funds began declining in value shortly after the customers purchased them, resulting in the customers selling a portion of their investments at a loss and taking out margin loans totaling approximately $25,000 to meet their near-term liquidity needs. Beslagic’s firm provided compensation to the customers totaling $24,276.00 for their losses. The suspension was in effect from December 16, 2024, through February 15, 2025.
