Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) in Liquidation

Northstar (Bermuda), which sold annuities and other investment products to investors, is currently in liquidation after filing for bankruptcy. In September 2020, the off-shore entity was only able to report $8M in assets and a much larger deficit.

Owner Greg Lindberg, who is serving time in prison, is suspected of having funneled money from Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) to his special purpose vehicles in the US.

Meanwhile, brokers and their brokerage firms have earned high commissions from selling these off-shore products to customers, including many investors who should never have been sold Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) annuities such as:

Global Index Product
Global Advantage Plus Series
Global Interest Accumulator

Knowledgeable Northstar (Bermuda) Law Firm

Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (SSEK Law Firm at investorlawyers.com) has filed FINRA arbitration claims against many of the broker-dealers, including Hancock Whitney Investment Services, whose financial advisors sold Northstar (Bermuda) products to customers.

Many of these investors wanted a haven for their money. Instead, they were sold products that were much riskier and had fewer protections than US-based investments. This resulted in investment losses.
