Investors expect to suffer some losses because this is often the nature of buying and trading on the stock market and investing in other ways. However, these losses should never be due to the negligence or misconduct of your trusted financial advisor or stockbroker.

When this happens, the FInancial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) needs to know so they can hold the negligent broker accountable and compel them to compensate you accordingly.

We understand that initiating a FINRA complaint and going up against a savvy broker or powerful brokerage firm can be intimidating. But, when you have a respected Palm Beach investment loss lawyer at Wolper Law Firm, P.A. by your side, you can trust that we’ll handle the legal details of your case and do everything possible to recover full compensation for your investment losses.

Stockbroker Misconduct and Investment Losses in Palm Beach

Stockbroker misconduct is, arguably, one of the most common causes of investment losses in Palm Beach. You should be able to trust your broker and financial planning institution to act in your best interests, but sadly, more brokers are not only putting their commissions first, but are also being ordered to prioritize the interests of the brokerage firm at all costs to keep their jobs.

There are seemingly countless ways a broker could defraud an investor, but some of the most commonly seen types of investment fraud in Palm Beach include the following.

  • Unauthorized trading
  • Excessive trading (churning)
  • Failure to diversify
  • Excessive trading on margin
  • Making unsuitable recommendations
  • Ponzi schemes
  • Failure to supervise
  • Selling away
