Stockbroker fraud and misconduct runs rampant through the financial industries. Unfortunately, if you hope to get your lost money back, you must prove broker misconduct in an arbitration hearing with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). You can learn more about some of the most common types of broker misconduct and how to win your case by reading on.

Examples of Broker Misconduct

If you are hoping to recover your investment losses, you must be able to prove to FINRA that your financial institution or advisor is responsible. It doesn’t matter whether their actions were intentional or accidental—if they are liable for your stock losses, they should also be compelled to compensate you. Some common types of broker misconduct heard in FINRA arbitration proceedings include:

• Misrepresentation
• Lack of portfolio diversification
• Omission
• Failure to supervise
• Unauthorized trading
• Excessive trading
• Ponzi schemes
• Negligence

Building a Case for Broker Misconduct

The good thing about the financial sector is that there is always a paper trail of evidence. The ability to obtain this evidence can be a challenge.

But if your lawyer can gather financial documents, transactions, accounts, and communications with your financial advisor and other relevant parties, you could have a strong case against whoever is responsible for your losses. If FINRA arbitrators agree, they can order the liable party to pay you full restitution within thirty days of the decision.
