Understanding the Causes of Investment Loss

Investment loss can occur for various reasons, but when it’s the result of misconduct or negligence, you may be entitled to compensation:

1. Financial Advisor Misconduct

Your financial advisor (usually) has a fiduciary duty to act in your best interest. When they breach this duty, it can lead to significant financial harm. Here are six common ways financial advisors may be responsible for your losses:

  • Unsuitable Investments: Recommending investments that do not align with your financial goals, risk tolerance, or investment timeline can lead to unnecessary and substantial losses.
  • Failure to Diversify: A lack of diversification in your portfolio can expose you to higher risks and potential losses, particularly if a single sector or asset class underperforms.
  • Failure to Disclose Risks: If your advisor failed to fully inform you of the risks associated with an investment, you might have been unknowingly exposed to greater financial danger.
  • Churning Accounts: Excessive trading in your account to generate commissions, rather than to benefit your financial position, can erode your portfolio and lead to significant losses.
  • Conflicts of Interest: Some advisors receive compensation for recommending certain products that may not be in your best interest, leading to biased advice that prioritizes their earnings over your financial well-being.
  • Neglect: Failing to monitor your investments, communicate important information, or update recommendations as needed can result in avoidable financial losses.

2. Corporate Misconduct and Market Deception

Sometimes, the company you invested in may be at fault. If a corporation lies to investors, falsifies financial statements, or engages in deceptive practices, it can cause the stock price to plummet, resulting in significant losses for shareholders. Key areas of corporate misconduct include:

  • Fraudulent Disclosures: Companies are required to provide accurate and truthful information to the market. If they fail to do so, investors may be misled into making poor investment decisions.
  • Accounting Irregularities: Manipulating financial reports to appear more profitable or stable than they are can lead to inflated stock prices that eventually crash, harming investors.

3. Board of Directors’ Breach of Duty

The board of directors has a duty to act in the best interest of shareholders. When the board fails to fulfill its responsibilities—whether through neglect, conflicts of interest, or misconduct—shareholders can suffer significant financial harm. Common breaches include:

  • Failure to Oversee Management: The board is responsible for supervising the company’s management. When they neglect this duty, poor decisions or unethical practices may go unchecked, leading to financial losses.
  • Ignoring Shareholder Interests: The board must prioritize shareholder interests. When they fail to act in your best interest, it can result in detrimental outcomes, such as declining stock prices or missed growth opportunities.

Our Comprehensive and Transparent Approach to Recovering Your Investment Losses

Free Initial Consultation

If you’ve experienced significant investment losses, it’s crucial to identify the root cause and hold the responsible parties accountable. At Equal Justice Solutions, we conduct a thorough analysis of your case to determine whether your financial advisor, the company, or its board of directors may be to blame. We do this in a way that’s transparent, and affordable. 

When you contact us, our team will provide a free initial consult. In this meeting, we: 

  • Listen to your story to understand what has happened. 
  • Understand your objectives and what you hope to accomplish. 
  • Advise you on your rights under the law. 
  • Provide initial thoughts on the case and potential next steps. 

Transparent Pricing

After your initial consultation, if we feel we can help, we provide an in-depth case analysis for only $999.* During this time, we conduct: 

  • Comprehensive Portfolio Review: We will meticulously examine your investment portfolio to identify any signs of advisor misconduct, unsuitable investments, or lack of diversification.
  • Analysis of Corporate Conduct: We investigate the companies you’ve invested in to uncover evidence of fraudulent activity, misleading disclosures, or accounting irregularities that may have contributed to your losses.
  • Board of Directors Review: Our team assesses whether the board of directors fulfilled its duty to act in the best interests of shareholders or if their actions (or inactions) led to your financial harm.
  • Recommended Next Steps: Based on our findings, we will outline the most effective legal strategies to pursue compensation for your losses, whether through filing a lawsuit, pursuing arbitration, or negotiating a settlement.
 

 

*Consistent with our faith-based mission, if the $999 fee is cost prohibitive for you, please let us know. With proper documentation (such as an asset sheet, tax returns, etc.), we can reduce or waive the initial fee. Our commitment is to ensure that everyone has access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. Additionally, the $999 fee does not include costs to third parties (companies and individuals not affiliated with Equal Justice Solutions), which may be significant in the event of litigation. Your attorney will go over anticipated out of pocket costs with you as part of the review process.

In many cases, we will take investment loss matters on a contingency, meaning you don’t pay Equal Justice Solutions anything other than the initial review fee of $999, unless we obtain compensation for you. However, in some cases, it may be more appropriate to use an alternative fee arrangement. Your lawyer will discuss your options with you. 

Don’t let investment losses caused by someone else’s misconduct go unchallenged. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us help you take the first step toward recovering your financial losses.
