For an account where losses exceed $50,000, NSA will, for no fee, review and analyze your securities and investment account statements and account activity to determine whether the investments in your account are "suitable," that is, appropriate and consistent with your financial sophistication and experience, as well as stated investment needs and objectives. For example,
Have trades taken place in your account where your authorization was not obtained in advance of the trade?
Are you being charged excessive commissions or are they consistent with industry standards?
Is there excessive trading in your account?
Is there short term speculative trading taking place in your account?
Has your registered representative sold you investments that were never approved by his firm (selling away)?
Has your registered representative (broker) concentrated your investments in one industry segment or even one stock thereby needlessly exposing you to the risks of that industry?
Are you concentrated in equities when you really need income?
Are you elderly and have been sold an annuity with high surrender charges when you really need access to your funds?
Have you been sold a private placement investment where there is no liquidity?
Were you sold an investment you did not understand?
Have you lost a significant part of your portfolio and do not understand how or why it happened?
NSA will analyze your account and assist you in recovering your funds. The fee to be charged by NSA is negotiable and dependent on the type and size of the loss or potential claim.
NSA makes no warranty or representation that it can recover any amount for client. NSA may, in its discretion, refer the client to outside consultants or lawyers with expertise in a particular subject area if it is deemed that the issue is not consistent with the skills or experience of NSA.
