Unfortunately, abuses in the securities industry are widespread. In 1999, the North American Securities Administration Association (NASAA), which represents state securities regulators, reported a 30% increase in fraud from 1998. Sadly, the number of securities fraud cases has greatly increased since then. The NASAA estimates that securities fraud costs American investors approximately $10 billion each year, which comes to $1 million every single hour in every day. The number of arbitration cases at the NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers), which is the industry organization that represents people and companies involved in the securities industry, has increased from 318 in 1980 to 5,558 in 2000.
Sadly, as startling as these statistics are, securities abuses are underreported; the overwhelming majority of investment abuses are never even reported. Often, investors, like you, feel embarrassed by their supposed gullibility and trust they put in their broker. Investors also often assume that they are just the victims of the market and that there is nothing to be done about their financial losses.

We Can Help You

If you have invested in a fund where there were misrepresentations or omissions, you may be entitled to financial compensation. A broker may be liable to a customer if the broker misrepresents material facts or fails to disclose facts to the investor in the sale or recommendation of an investment. Typically, misrepresentations or omissions are an attempt to convince investors of the minimal risk associated with a particular investment. We believe that many investors purchased the Morgan Keegan bond funds (as well as other bond funds that invested in sub-prime CMOs) without fully appreciating the nature and extent of the risks involved. If this sounds like what happened to you, there is legal help available right now.

You need not feel victimized any longer. The Morgan Keegan bond fund fraud attorneys at Burke Harvey & Frankowski are a phone call away. If you have been a victim of the sub-prime mortgage market collapse due to Morgan Keegan’s misrepresentations and omissions, please email us or call us toll-free at 888-930-9091 today.
