FINRA Arbitration Filed Against Sigma Financial Over Investment Losses

Feb. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- The White Law Group announces that it has filed a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration statement of claim against Sigma Financial.  The claim seeks to recover alleged losses in excess of $4,000,000.

The claim, filed by The White Law Group, was submitted to FINRA Dispute Resolution on behalf of two retired North Carolina investors alleging claims for violation of common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision. The claim further alleges that Sigma Financial unsuitably invested the clients in the following tenant in common (TIC) investments (among others):  

Covington, Passco Revenueaux Apartments, Eagle Creek, Meridian Carmel Center, Chemed Center, Griffin Capital Westwood Lisle, Mission Melbrook, Mission Glen Eagles, Spring Mill, Waters Edge, and Lakeland Commons.

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 Sigma Financial failed to perform the necessary due diligence on these investments prior to recommending them to these particular investors.
