Companies, investment professionals and advisors must disclose and not omit material facts and risks necessary for a customer or investor to make an informed purchase decision. It has unfortunately become systematic practice for sellers and issuers to omit or leave out critical material facts or risks. This often results in enormous losses and constitutes securities fraud.

The significance and materiality of a key omission of fact or law is enormous. Companies and controlling persons often purposely obfuscate the true nature of the risks involved in an investment product or other securities or insurance products either by using hyper-technical language or language so equivocal that a reasonable person would not be able to attach the appropriate importance to what is being read. Misrepresentations and omissions violate the basic principles of securities laws and common law.

In addition to disclosing all material facts concerning an investment product, it is equally important and required by law that a company, investment professional or affiliate prominently highlight the facts in, for example, the “Principal Risks” portion of a prospectus or other offering document and provide the same to each investor. Far too frequently, companies, affiliates and many investment advisors do not disclose key major material facts or risks in the body or “Principal Risks” portion of a prospectus but instead bury the key risks or facts in a Statement of Additional Information or other area such that it is not prominently and easily conveyed to an investor. Such acts violate security laws.
