What Does This Mean?
Misrepresentation occurs whenever a securities broker makes any false assertion to investors about an investment or potential investment. This can either occur by accident, due to the broker’s own negligence, or on purpose, due to the securities broker’s fraudulent intent. Regardless of the broker’s intent, misrepresentation can cause significant financial detriment to investors as it can lead to them making crucial financial decisions based on misinformation.
