Alleged Unsuitability and Due Diligence Failures May Be Grounds for a FINRA Lawsuit

If you are someone whose financial advisor recommended one of the TCA Global Credit Funds to you, there may be reasons to sue your broker-dealer for damages.

If you fall into any of the above categories, you may need to contact a FINRA lawsuit attorney.

One can only assume that the high commissions and fees earned by broker-dealers for selling Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) investments purportedly took greater precedence over looking out for these customers’ best interests. Many of the victims are retail investors and older investors, including retirees, who have now suffered losses in the six figures.
