Mis-Sold Investment Claims
Not all investments are the same.
Some have far more risks attached to them than others and it is not unusual for the risks of these investments not to have been explained.
Mis-Sold Investments
Whether you’ve been advised to move your fund into a risky investment which has lost money, or you’ve been advised to change from a scheme with excellent benefits such as a Final Salary Scheme, our team of solicitors are on hand to assist.
At FDM, our experts have extensive experience in helping clients win compensation and this can be utilised to good effect where they have been advised to place their money into a risky or inappropriate investment.
When giving advice, advisors had an obligation to ensure that the product recommended was suitable for the individual and that the individual was suitably aware of the risks associated with that investment – e.g. that the pot of money could go down as well as up.

Was I Mis-Sold My Investment?
It is important to note that the investment losing money does not necessarily mean it was mis-sold; for mis-sale to have occurred we need to be able to demonstrate that the advisor was reckless or that the investment was misrepresented or unsuitable.
Examples may include where there was no diversification of funds, guarantees were made regarding the performance of the investment, risks of losing money were not made clear or financial penalties for withdrawing money were not explained.
