Certain products are riskier than others. Your broker or advisor should analyze and understand what level of risk you are willing and able to take, and based his or her recommendations on what is suitable for you. If your broker recommends securities which do not suit your goals, you could sustain significant losses.
Our skilled investment negligence attorneys have identified a number of products which can cause more harm than good to an investor’s portfolio. We are prepared to help Miami clients who have sustained financial harm because of products such as:
As an investor, you have the right to talk to your brokerage firm and your broker and ask about their background and their experience working with investors in your position. Brokers are required to be transparent about the fees, charges, commissions, costs and penalties associated with an investment. A broker has a duty of good faith and fair dealing, and they have a duty of disclosure, which means that if they fail to disclose material facts about an investment regarding the risks involved, they have breached that duty. The broker’s supervisor is responsible to supervise their brokers because they can also be held liable when one of their brokers behaves negligently or fraudulently and causes a client to lose money.
The North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) has published an Investor’s Bill of Rights to which every investor is entitled.
The failure to fulfill their obligation to you as a customer that results in investment losses for you may represent a cause of action, which may cause you to pursue compensation through filing a claim against them.
If you have questions about your investment advisor or broker-dealer, FINRA offers access to its Broker Check services. You will find information about your investment advisor’s firm through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Investment Advisor Public Disclosure (IAPD). If you are working with an individual investment advisor, you can look them up on the Florida Office of Financial Regulation’s Division of Securities website.
