A former Westpoint adviser who allegedly provided unlicensed advice has appeared in court today on three charges brought by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

At various times between 2003 and 2005, Keith Jason Rowntree, of Kellyville in Sydney’s west, allegedly carried out the now deregistered North Sydney-based financial services business Solutions One Finance Group.

The corporate watchdog alleged that Rowntree provided financial advice in relation to various products, including Westpoint related mezzanine company promissory notes.

The matters came to ASIC’s attention through its broader investigation into the collapse of the Westpoint Group of Companies and complaints received from the public.

The matter was adjourned until June 24 this year.
