A broker may be liable to a client if that broker misrepresents material facts or omits to disclose material facts to the investor regarding an investment, and that client loses money as a result therefrom.  A fact is deemed material if it is one which a reasonable investor would want to consider when making an investment decision.  Often misrepresentations involve unrealistic rates of return; or omissions fail to disclose the risks associated with a particular investment.  A broker has a duty to fairly disclose all of the risks associated with an investment he or she recommends.
