Former adviser forged clients' initials

A former registered financial adviser has pleaded guilty to two charges filed by the Financial Markets Authority.

Thursday, May 18th 2017, 9:54AM

Anthony Wilson was in the Auckland District Court yesterday, where he admitted two charges of making a false document for pecuniary advantage.

He admitted he had submitted three life insurance applications in which he forged clients' initials and in one case falsely amended the form.  It related to the disclosure of pre-existing medical conditions.

He had earlier pleaded guilty to one charge of making a false document for pecuniary advantage and one charge of dishonestly using a document for pecuniary advantage.

The FMA withdrew another two charges.

Wilson will be sentenced in July. 

The Financial Service Providers Register indicates that Wilson operates Hunter Wells, specialising in risk advice and succession planning for self-employed clients.
