What Does This Mean?
Misrepresentation occurs when a securities broker provides an investor with information that has been falsified. This is a very serious allegation due to how detrimental it can be to investors. It can lead to investors making financial decisions based on misinformation which can cause them to experience financial losses. Misrepresentation can occur either on purpose through the securities broker’s fraudulent intent, or by accident, through their own negligence and inability to perform the duties of their job adequately. However, this distinction does not matter in regards to losses that occur as a result.
