What Does Misrepresentation Mean In Securities Matters?
In securities matters, misrepresentation generally involves a broker or financial advisor making a false or misleading statement about an important investment fact. A statement may be material if a reasonable client would consider it important when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold an investment or follow an investment strategy. Misrepresentation allegations can concern risks, features, costs, expected returns, liquidity, or other important facts. These allegations may arise from conversations, written materials, or explanations of how a strategy works and the risks a client may face.
