the 2014 AAJ Annual Convention in Baltimore, Maryland, Scott gave a well-received presentation titled \u201cHow to Win an <a title=\"alternative investments\"

the rise of <a title=\"alternative investments\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/securities-arbitration\/alternative-investments\/\"  target=\"_blank\">Alternative Investment<\/a> or Product cases

interest<\/a>, and are frequently more speculative than marketed by the firms. \u00a0Several recent FINRA arbitration claims focus on products which lose substantially all of their value in a short time.\u00a0 FINRA has seen a rise in arbitration claims where multiple investors all seek damages relating to the same <a title=\"alternative investments\" href=\"https:\/\/www.silverlaw.com\/securities-arbitration\/alternative-investments\/\"  target=\"_blank\">Alternative Investments<\/a> or Product and where one or more of the asserted claims center
