How Do You Know Whether You Should Sue Your Financial Advisor?

It is not uncommon when investing for there to be losses and gains. As a matter of fact, you are always taking on some risk—even if it’s just a little bit—and returns are never guaranteed. Market ups and downs is also a common reason that investors can lose money, and when this happens that doesn’t always mean your broker was responsible.

However, if your registered representative did any of the following and you sustained serious investment losses, you may be able to sue for damages:

• Unsuitablyplaced you in high-risk private real estate investment trusts (REITs) even though you are an older senior who made it clear from the start that you didn’t want to take on any risks. In certain instances this may also qualify as elder financial abuse by a stockbroker.
• Failed to diversify your portfolio—also known as overconcentration—so that when your oil and gas investments failed during the pandemic, you suffered more losses than you would have if only your assets had been better allocated among different kinds of financial products.
• Did not conduct the proper due diligence and invested your money in a Ponzi scam.
• Failed to apprise you that a particular investment, such as your GWG L bond, was in trouble—this is also known as broker misrepresentations and omissions—and continued to keep your money in this high-risk junk bond, which may be a breach of fiduciary duty.

These are just some examples of what could be considered stockbroker fraud. However, you should know that broker negligence, inexperience, or ignorance may also be grounds for an FINRA lawsuit if an investor lost a lot of money as a result.
