FINRA Arbitration Filed Against Geneos Wealth Management to Recover Investment Losses

CHICAGO - April 1, 2013 - PRLog -- The White Law Group announces that it has filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration statement of claim against Geneos Wealth Management.  The claim seeks to recover losses of approximately $200,000.

The claim, filed by The White Law Group, was submitted to FINRA Dispute Resolution on behalf of two Nevada investors alleging claims for violation of common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision. The claim further alleges that Geneos Wealth Management unsuitably invested the clients in IMH Secured Loan Fund, Performex, Atlas Energy, and United Development Funding, among other unsuitable investments.

Before recommending an investment, a broker-dealer has a fiduciary duty to adequately disclose the risks involved in the investment and to perform the necessary due diligence to determine whether the investment is suitable for the investor.  It is alleged that Geneos Wealth Management failed to perform the necessary due diligence on these investments prior to recommending them to these particular investors.
