4 Main Types Of Investor Claims

There are several types of investor claims, scams, misconduct and fraud relating to the financial practices and dealings of stockbrokers, financial managers and investment advisers.

In a broad sense, investor claims can be summarized into the following categories:

Stockbroker Negligence Claims

Stockbrokers and financial advisers do not get a blank check to do anything they want short of outright fraud. To be sure, they have a degree of professional discretion. But when they cross a certain line of self-dealing or carelessness, the law calls for consequences.

Listed below are examples of stockbroker or financial adviser negligence:

  • Asset allocation
  • Churning
  • Failure to execute
  • Margin trading
  • Overconcentration
  • Unsuitability

For more information on each, visit our page on the types of stockbroker negligence claims.

Investment Scams And Fraud

What happens when the actions of a financial professional are so egregious that they amount to fraud or other forms of wrongdoing? This type of activity can include:

  • Fraud
  • False information
  • Hedge fund fraud
  • Mutual fund fraud
  • Ponzi and pyramid schemes
  • Private placements
  • Subprime litigation and mortgage scams

Breach Of Contract

Contracts between investment professionals and those whose money they manage exist for a reason. The contract sets the terms by which the management is to occur. When that does not happen, there may be a breach of contract. Examples include:

  • Breach of contract
  • Breach of fiduciary duty
  • Conflicts of interest
  • Excessive activity
