What Does This Mean?
Misrepresentation occurs when a securities broker provides an investor with falsified information about their investments or potential investments. Sometimes, brokers will do this on purpose in an attempt to defraud investors. However, most of the time this occurs through the broker’s own negligence and failure to perform their duties adequately. Regardless of the broker’s intent, misrepresentation can lead to serious financial detriment to investors because it can lead to them making financial decisions based on misinformation.
