What are Preferred Shares of Stock?

Investing in preferred shares can be seen as a hybrid investment strategy, offering both steady dividends similar to bond interest payments, and stock-like characteristics, subject to market fluctuations.

While preferred shares may experience a decrease in value, it is typically not as volatile as common shares. Preferred shareholders usually don’t have the same chance to make big profits as those who own common shares.

Despite its reputation for being a relatively safe investment option, as with all investments, there still remains a certain level of risk of investor fraud.

Types of Preferred Stock Fraud That Brokers & Investment Advisors May Commit

Preferred stock fraud can take many forms, from mishandling of investments to outright lying and misrepresentation.

Most brokers and investment advisers are obligated to act in the best interest of their clients. When they don’t, it can lead to major losses for investors.

Common types of preferred broker fraud may include:

  • Recomendar inversiones inadecuadas
  • Robo o apropiación indebida de fondos
  • Churning (negociación excesiva)
  • Operaciones no autorizadas en la cuenta de un cliente
  • Falta de diversificación
  • Tergiversación u omisión de información
  • No seguir las instrucciones
  • Concentración excesiva de activos
  • No revelar un interés personal en un valor
  • Gestión negligente de carteras
  • Transacciones anticipadas

Above are some of the more common types of stockbroker fraud that can occur when working with a broker-dealer or investment advisor. If you believe that you have been a victim of any type of preferred stock fraud and have consequently lost money as a result, you may be eligible to file a claim to help you recover your losses.
