At least one current or former client of Pittsburgh financial advisor Alan Pershing (CRD# 5942850) is listed in US bankruptcy court records as a creditor for an investment in GWG L bonds. Filed in Texas, the records describe an investment of more than $115,000.

GWG Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in April 2022.

These investments may have been unsuitable for some investors, including investors with low risk tolerances and limited investment experience. More information about them can be found at our investor resource.

Based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he has been an investment advisor with Milestone Asset Management since 2021 and with Brookstone Capital Management since 2018. He has also been a financial consultant with West Advisory Group since 2018. His registration history includes PNC Investments (Harmar, Pennsylvania; 2012-2014) and Morgan Stanley (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; 2011-2012).
