Hedge Fund Fraud Lawyers

Am I The Victim of Hedge Fund Fraud?

Our Hedge Fund Fraud Lawyers Represent Investors of All Experience Levels

If your broker unsuitably recommended that you invest in a hedge fund and you suffered serious losses, contact Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (investorlawyers.com) today. These private investment pools of participants’ money ideally should only be marketed to sophisticated investors with a lot of money. High-risk and often lacking transparency, hedge funds are generally not appropriate for retail investors, inexperienced investors, and conservative retirees. Yet, because there are investment companies that invest in hedge funds—less experienced investors can become exposed to them.

Part of the challenge with hedge funds is that even a fund’s manager may find it hard to evaluate how well the underlying funds are doing. There are fund managers who also have been known to give an inaccurate picture of what is involved or run the hedge fund as a Ponzi scam to misappropriate investors’ money.

Hedge funds are typically illiquid and nontransparent. There are often high fees associated with investing in one.  With hedge funds, a large minimum investment amount is generally required.

Not only that, but your broker likely earned significant commissions from selling you on a hedge fund. This can prove to be a temptation, compelling some financial advisors to make unsuitable investment recommendations, commit due diligence failures, or breach their fiduciary duty to you to make a bigger profit.

If you suffered significant losses in a hedge fund scam, you may be able to hold your broker liable if financial advisor misconduct or negligence occurred even if the investing professional had nothing to do with the fraud. Even if there wasn’t a scheme, if your broker unsuitably marketed and sold you on a hedge fund that was inappropriate given your lack of investing experience or your low-risk tolerance level, you still may be able to sue for damages.
