Mis-Sold Investments
Mis-sold investment bonds are just one of the forms of financial mis-selling that occurs in the financial space. The truth is that any investment product can easily be mis-sold once the wrong information has been issued to the buyer at the time of the transaction. Issues of mis-selling investments often take the following forms:
Stocks and Shares ISAs
With these financial products, money is invested in stocks and shares. However, stocks and shares can decrease in value and consequently, the element of risk involved with stocks and shares ISAs increases.
In some instances, the risk involved is not properly explained or inadequate, which can lead to financial mis-selling.
Managed Portfolios
Managed portfolios often include multiple asset classes to spread any risk and are often seen as a great way to invest safely. Especially because it often entails compound investments that allow investors to make the most of different investment schemes.
Sadly, things do not always go on as planned with managed portfolios, and any change in circumstances can easily turn a managed portfolio into a mis-sold investment.
Profit Bonds
A profit bond is another great ideal because it is designed to spread investment risk across different asset classes. Plus, there is also an annual bonus tied to the performance of the investment instead of its change in value. The implication is that there is reduced volatility with profit bonds.
The downside with profit bonds is that it comes with penalties that can change the dynamic of the investments. It becomes a mis-sold investment when an investor does not have enough information about these penalties and their implications.
OIEC Investments
OIEC(Open Ended Investment Companies)investments are another great investment strategy because they are designed to let investors with small amounts of capital spread their investment risk. Managing risks this way is enabled by pooling money with other investors, which is then invested in different streams.
However, OIEC investments can easily become mis-sold financial products when an investor is not furnished with enough information about the risks, fees and possible volatility of the market they invest in.
