Excessive trading and misrepresentation are both serious forms of broker misconduct. A broker’s employing firm is responsible for overseeing the broker to prevent such misconduct. Failure to supervise is a claim made against a brokerage firm in these situations.
Often, misrepresentation is accompanied by churning. Churning occurs when the account frequently trades for no apparent reason but to generate fees and commissions.
The misrepresentation or omission of material facts concerning investment recommendations by a brokerage firm and its representatives may be a cause of action in a FINRA arbitration claim for damages. There are two types of misrepresentations and omissions; those that are fraudulent and those that are negligent.
Misrepresentations often occur during the offering process or prior to investing in a particular product. Misrepresentation can vary in appearance and, if made intentionally, are often times made in order to induce an unwitting investor to invest. An example of a misrepresentation can include promises of high dividends or that the company of the underlying investment will go public in a year.
If proven, an intentional misrepresentation can have serious consequences, as it is a violation of Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
