Mis-Sold Investment Claims
Are you worried that you may have invested into something that wasn’t right for you?
Investments are supposed to secure your financial future. If we don’t want our cash losing money to inflation, we have to invest it which means its value should go up, but may also go down. However, some investments are never going to be right for you.
Put simply, a low-risk investor should not be in a high-risk product because it’s too risky/volatile and a high-risk investor should not be in a low-risk product because it will not give them the growth they want to achieve.
If you think you have been mis-sold an investment product it means somebody either sold you an investment which wasn’t suitable for your attitude to risk, needs and objective, didn’t disclose risks to you or didn’t even check what your attitude to risk was.
A lot of mis-sold investments come from people abusing positions of trust to sell investments to customers friends and family without thinking about long term implications if those investments fail to perform.
If you are worried this has happened to you, we understand how disheartened and even embarrassed you feel, but you do not have to face it alone.
We can investigate what grounds you have, to seek restitution and if needed we will help you pursue cash compensation or redress for your losses without you having to deal with any of the parties involved.
