When a broker misleads an investor or fails to disclose certain material facts—whether intentionally or out of ignorance—this can lead to serious investment losses.

What Does It Mean To Be The Victim of Misrepresentations and Omissions By Your Broker?

Receiving inaccurate, incomplete, or false information about an investment or strategy from a financial advisor can compel an investor to make decisions that could later prove detrimental. They are then blindsided by losses they never saw coming. When this happens, you may be able to sue your broker-dealer and their registered representative in Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration. This is where our Chicago misrepresentations attorneys come in.

What Are Examples of Omissions or Misrepresentations Impacting Illinois Investors?

• An investment you made is in trouble, but your broker failed to disclose this fact to you. Instead, they reassure you that all is well and you decide not to pull out your money. When the issuer of the investment files for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, you suffer portfolio losses.
• Your financial advisor neglected to tell you that in addition to the commission you will be paying for purchasing shares in an alternative investment, there are also other fees. You agree to invest, not knowing that all of these charges will eat into your principal.
• The broker claimed that a private placement investment is safe and low-risk, when in fact it was a speculative, illiquid product. If you had known the truth, you likely would have said no to purchasing the shares. Instead, you sustained serious losses when the investment faile.
• Your broker-dealer encouraged you to try a strategy that required borrowing on margin while claiming there was no risk of loss. Unfortunately, they failed to inform you that a margin account can amplify your losses and result in the forced liquidation of assets if problems arise.
