Investors Recovering Losses with FINRA Arbitration
Investors who have suffered losses due to the actions of brokers or advisors have the opportunity to recover their losses through FINRA arbitration. This process is often quicker and less costly than traditional litigation. The arbitration process involves a panel of arbitrators who review the evidence and make a decision. If the decision is in favor of the investor, the broker or advisor may be required to pay damages.
Investors who believe they have been wronged can file a complaint with FINRA, who will then investigate the matter. If the broker or advisor is found to be at fault, FINRA can impose sanctions, including fines, suspensions, and even expulsion from the industry.
