Failure to Hedge Lawyers
in Dallas, Texas
In certain situations a broker may be liable for failing to allow a customer to hedge their portfolio. Liability in this context usually arises when a customer has a portfolio concentrated in few companies or few industries leaving the customer open to devastating losses if those companies or sectors turn sour. Liability for a failure to hedge is a reflection of a broker's duty to make suitable recommendations which generally encompasses the use of sound financial planning including diversification. In some situations it would be unsuitable for a client to diversify a large holding in one or more securities; however, this does not discharge a broker's duty to make suitable recommendations, including a recommendation to hedge the portfolio.
