With the Chinese market in the midst of a correction, many investors in Chinese focused funds may be concerned for their investments. We are paying close attention to certain funds with high involvement in China, and, in particular, the ways in which broker/dealers marketed and sold the products to investors.

Investors were likely attracted to the growth in China over the last year or so.  Unfortunately, it appears that certain financial advisors may have failed to adequately disclose the risks of China focused funds to their clients (particularly in light of the funds overconcentration of investments in China and the likelihood of a correction after enormous recent growth).

The White Law Group is investigating the liability that brokerage firms may have for recommending these risky investments. Brokerage firms are required to perform adequate due diligence on any investment they recommend and to adequately disclose the risks of any investment. Additionally, brokerage firms are required to ensure that all investment recommendations made are suitable in light of the client’s age, investment experience, investment objectives, net worth, and income.
