Our Portland, OR Securities Law Firm Represents Investors Against Brokers That Unsuitably Recommended Investments That Failed
If you are an Oregon investor who sustained serious losses because the financial product that your stockbroker or investment adviser recommended failed, contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com). From our Portland, OR securities law office, we represent Beaver State investors in pursuing damages from negligent financial firms.
What Does It Mean To Sue Your Financial Advisor Over A Financial Product Failure?
Investments can fail for many reasons. Not all of these reasons warrant grounds for a financial recovery claim against your broker or investment adviser. However, when a financial advisor unsuitably recommended the product to you, and that investment goes on to fail and cause you to sustain serious losses, you may be able to sue them for damages.
Some Reasons Why Financial Products Fail:
- An investment vehicle that was poorly designed from the start.
- A change in business model impacts stock valuation.
- There are serious problems affecting the financial product, which can lead to investors not being able to access their money, receive returns, or get redemptions.
- Poor management of the investment.
- Some kind of investment scam, including Ponzi fraud, pump-and-dump schemes, and other fraudulent behaviors.
- Post-merger performance issues, including integration risks, tax implications, a lower valuation, and other matters of concern.
- The investment’s share price drops suddenly in value, whether due to adverse events, market volatility, or some other reason.
A lot of these are not within the control of your financial advisor. However, if they disregarded any red flags indicating something might be amiss with the investment they sold to you, made misrepresentations and omissions when marketing to you, ignored your best interests, breached their fiduciary duty or contract, overconcentrated or poorly management your account, or were negligent in some other way, you may be able to sue them for Oregon financial product failure.
I’m An Oregon Investor. What Should I Do If My Financial Product Failed?
Do NOT try to discuss your concerns with your broker. It is easy to believe that they will want to do everything they can to make you financially whole again. However, once the question of liability on their part arises, that is when they stop being on your side.
There are even broker-dealers that have been known to blame customers or use communications between them to hurt any investment loss recovery claims they may ultimately file against them. This is why you want to retain trusted Portland, Oregon financial product failure attorneys that can advocate for you and protect your legal rights.
If you contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas today, we would be happy to schedule a free case assessment with you to determine whether your financial advisor should be held liable. This is a no obligation consultation. We work on a contingency basis, which means if we do decide to work together, you will only pay for our securities representation if we were to secure an award or settlement for you.
