Common Ways Financial Advisors Cause Investment Losses

Investment losses can result from many different forms of financial advisor or brokerage firm misconduct. Some of the most common problems include:

  • Unsuitable investment recommendations
  • Excessive risk or overconcentration
  • Misrepresentations or failure to disclose important risks
  • Illiquid or high-risk investment products
  • Excessive trading or churning
  • Failure by the brokerage firm to properly supervise the financial advisor

You May Have a Claim Against the Financial Advisor or Brokerage Firm

Financial advisors and brokerage firms have duties to recommend investments that are appropriate for their customers, disclose important risks and conflicts, and properly supervise the people who give investment advice. When those duties are violated and an investor suffers losses, the investor may have a claim to recover those losses.

What Should You Do If You Lost Money With a Financial Advisor?

If you believe your investment losses may have resulted from bad advice or broker misconduct, take steps to preserve the information that may be important to your claim.

  • Gather your brokerage statements, account records, and investment documents
  • Save emails, text messages, letters, and notes of conversations with your financial advisor
  • Write down what you were told about the investment, including its risks and expected returns
  • Identify when you first discovered the loss or problem
  • Do not assume that a market loss means you have no legal clai
  • Speak with an attorney experienced in investment-loss and securities cases before important deadlines expire

Mazer Law Firm can review your investment records and help determine whether broker misconduct or brokerage-firm supervision failures may have contributed to your losses.

How Can You Recover Investment Losses?

Many investment-loss claims are brought through FINRA arbitration against the financial advisor, brokerage firm, or both. Depending on the facts, claims may involve unsuitable recommendations, misrepresentations, excessive trading, failure to supervise, breach of fiduciary duty, or other misconduct. In some situations, claims may also be pursued in state or federal court.

The right path depends on how the investment was sold, who recommended it, the agreements governing the account, and the deadlines that apply. A careful review of the account records and communications is often the first step in determining whether a recoverable claim exists.
