Read on to learn more about stockbroker misrepresentation and your FINRA arbitration hearing.
What Is Stockbroker Misrepresentation?
Any time your broker essentially lies to you about the details of a potential investment or transaction, or if they omit pertinent information that would influence your decision to authorize a sale, purchase, or trade, they are committing broker misrepresentation.
More often than not, it isn’t until an investor loses money or has trouble liquidating their investments that the misrepresentation is discovered. At this point, you will need to reach out to your broker and ask for information that can back up the representations they made to you.
From there, reach out to your lawyer as soon as possible so we can begin preparing your FINRA complaint and be one step closer to working to secure the remuneration that is rightfully yours.
What You Can Do to Hold Your Stockbroker Accountable
If you want to do everything you can to not only get your money back but bring your scheming stockbroker to justice, you will need to file an arbitration claim through FINRA. Here, you’ll be given a hearing in front of a panel of three FINRA arbitrators.
Similar to what you would expect in court, both sides will present their case, with your lawyer presenting evidence that demonstrates broker misrepresentation, while the defense will likely argue that they represented investments appropriately.
Once the arbitrators have all the information they need, they will review the evidence presented to determine whether misrepresentation has occurred, to what extent, and how much you’re entitled to recover if your broker did engage in misrepresentation.
However, it is important to note that arbitration does not necessarily guarantee that you’ll be awarded repayment in a timely manner. In fact, once the arbitrators have the information they need, it can take over twelve months for your case to then be resolved.
