Individual Investors Claims

KlaymanToskes represents individual investors who have sustained substantial losses as a result of unsuitable investment advice, breach of fiduciary duty, misrepresentations, omissions, negligence, breach of contract, failure to supervise, and violation of industry rules. We also handle cases involving mismanagement of assets or securities fraud by an investor’s brokerage firm or financial institution as well as a failure on the part of a brokerage firm or financial institution to protect an investor’s wealth through risk management and protective strategies. Our firm also represents victims of Ponzi schemes and affinity fraud relating to limited partnerships, promissory notes, and unregistered securities. Securities claims filed by KlaymanToskes against full-service brokerage firms on behalf of its individual investors include the following issues:

• Unsuitable recommendations
• Over-concentration in a single security or sector
• Private Equity Investments
• Alternative Investments
• REITs
• Misallocation of assets
• Margin Abuse
• Churning
• Mutual fund switching

When a securities class action is filed, our law firm has been at the forefront of “opting-out” individual investors who have substantial losses in securities. Through this opt-out, we file individual securities arbitration claims on their behalf against brokerage firms that recommended the securities. By participating in a class action lawsuit, an individual investor will most likely recover only pennies on the dollar. However, if an individual investor has experienced significant investment losses, it may be more beneficial for it to file an individual securities arbitration claim. In 2003, KlaymanToskes conducted a detailed study of securities arbitration versus class action. The study concluded that investors who file a securities arbitration claim traditionally obtain an overall higher rate of recovery as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit, and this is still true today.
