What Does This Mean?

Securities brokers are expected to disclose all relevant information to their customers accurately. If a securities broker conveys falsified information to a customer, whether intentional or accidental, they have engaged in misrepresentation. This act can be detrimental to investors as it can lead to them making crucial financial decisions based on misinformation. This can cause the investor to experience significant financial detriment.
