There are many things that a financial professional commonly do that is not in your best interests. The motivation for many of these things is compensation the professional receives.

Colorado and federal laws work to protect investors. Likewise, FINRA rules regulate the actions of securities brokerages and their registered representatives. As a Colorado investment fraud attorney, Jeffrey Pederson can help you navigate these rules and help to recoup investment loss.

Your financial professional has a duty to provide accurate information about an investment. The professional also has a duty to not omit facts that would be necessary to keep other statements from being misleading. For example, an advisor cannot recommend an investment without revealing that it is “unsuitable,” or that has more risk than an investor is looking to undertake. Such omission or misstatement is a violation of the Colorado Securities Act’s prohibition against fraud. Such violations allow an investor to sue for rescission or damages.

Claims against securities brokerages generally are in the FINRA arbitration forum. Investment advisors either contractually require arbitration or, alternatively, are file is state or federal court.
