If your investments haven’t lived up to your expectations, you may have been the victim of nothing more than bad luck or bad timing. However, you may also have been the victim of bad financial advice or blatant misconduct on the part of your broker or investment advisor. Knowing which one is the case can be difficult.
If you have sustained serious investment losses, complete an online contact form for a free consultation. Common types of securities claims to consider in reviewing your account history include:
Suitability claims — at least 8 out of every 10 claims regard the investment of client funds into products that are not suitable for them, or an overall unsuitable investment plan
Fraud and misrepresentation — when you are told something materially false or material information is withheld in order to sell you an investment
Breach of fiduciary duty claims — these cases involve a failure to act in the clients’ best interests and misrepresentations or omissions of fact in disclosing various aspects and risks associated with certain investments
Improper execution claims — failing to follow client instructions regarding investments and trades
Account churning claims — excessive trading designed to rack up high commissions for the broker, advisor, or brokerage at the clients’ expense
Over-concentrating claims — failing to diversify or excessive investment in a particular class of securities or equities
Trading on margin — Using money borrowed against the value of your securities to buy additional investments can be very risky.
