The Allegations

What Does This Mean?
Securities brokers, like Jason Williams, have a duty to their customers to always act in their best financial interests. A major part of this means diversifying their customers’ portfolios in a manner that is suitable for them. When securities brokers fail to diversify investors’ accounts, it can often result in losses when the value of the over-concentrated securities decline.
