Investment Advisors Owe Clients The Highest Level Of Care

Investment advisors are bound by fiduciary duties, requiring them to act in their clients’ best interests. This includes disclosing all material facts about investment strategies, risks, and potential conflicts of interest. The duty of care mandates that advisors provide advice tailored to the individual financial situation of their clients. These obligations ensure transparency and foster trust, emphasizing the importance of aligning investment strategies with client goals and risk tolerances.

Option Trading Can Be Extremely Risky

Options trading involves significant risks, particularly when speculative or high-risk strategies are employed. For example, naked options expose investors to unlimited potential losses since they involve selling options without owning the underlying assets. Clients allowing advisors to trade options must understand these risks thoroughly, as losses can exceed initial investments. It’s crucial to evaluate the suitability of such strategies against one’s financial goals and risk tolerance.

Timothy Hatton Red Flags & Your Rights As An Investor

Of course, Timothy Hatton did not admit to any of the allegations. But regardless of whether an arbitration award was entered, a settlement occurred, or the customer complaint is still pending, the allegations made by customers are red flags which should put all current and former customers of Creative Planning on alert to review carefully the activity and performance of their accounts and question whether Timothy Hatton has engaged in any stockbroker misconduct that may have caused them investment losses. The large number of customer complaints at Creative Planning also raises questions about the brokerage firm’s supervisory practices.
