Rydex Precious Metals Fund Securities Investigation

Have you suffered losses investing in Rydex Precious Metals Fund?  If so, the securities attorney of The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses through a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that recommended the investment.

According to Bloomberg, Rydex Series – Precious Metals Fund is an open-end fund incorporated in the USA. The Fund’s objective is capital appreciation. The Fund invests in U.S. and foreign companies that are involved in the precious metals sector, including exploration, mining, production and development, and other precious metals-related services.  The fund, according to Bloomberg, is down over 38% in the last year.

Precious metal funds, like the Rydex Precious Metals Fund, are high risk investments because their performance is directly tied to the price of one or more commodities and those prices can swing dramatically depending on the world economy and demand for the commodity.

Precious metal and gold mutual funds can oftentimes be found when researching specialty offerings.  When done appropriately (i.e. in small amounts), investments in precious metals offer additional diversification to go along with a balanced portfolio.  However, such investments can be inherently risky if an investor over-concentrates their portfolio in such products.

Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to ensure that all recommendations made are suitable in light of the client’s age, investment experience, net worth, income, and investment objectives.
If a brokerage firm fails to perform adequate due diligence or makes an unsuitable investment recommendation, the firm can be held responsible for the losses in a FINRA arbitration claim.
