What Does This Mean?

Securities brokers have a legal obligation to disclose all relevant information regarding investments and potential investments. Leaving out crucial details about investments constitutes as omission. Less than scrupulous securities brokers can also give the customer false information regarding their investments or potential investments. This act is referred to as misrepresentation. Omission and misrepresentation can cause investors to purchase securities that they otherwise would not have purchased. Investors who believed they only purchased securities based on their securities broker's misrepresenting or omitting key details may be entitled to damages.
