Brokers’ Responsibility To Conduct Due Diligence On GPB Capital Funds Before Making Recommendations

Investments in the energy sector are aggressive and have experienced substantial volatility since 2015. And the risks are not just inherent in energy stocks – bonds and notes issued by energy companies can contain significant risks too. This is why it is so important that securities brokers and financial advisors take appropriate steps to ensure that their recommended energy investments, including stocks and bonds, are suitable for investors. Not that, but financial professionals must conduct due diligence on investments before making recommendations. Some financial advisors could have sold unsuitable or misrepresented investments and even breached their fiduciary duty to investors upon selling Hi-Crush investments.
