Disclosure is one of the most important duties a financial advisor owes to a client.

When investors suffer financial losses due to broker misconduct, the advisor is not the only party who may be responsible. Under federal securities laws and FINRA rules, brokerage firms have a duty to supervise their representatives. bhseclaw.com/blog/failure... #investmentfraudlawyers #finralawyers

Fraudsters exploit trust, authority, and emotion. They create urgency and appeal to greed by promising outsized returns, or exploit fear of missing out by referencing “exclusive opportunities.” bhseclaw.com/blog/signs-y... #investmentfraudlawyers #bhseclaw
