Due Diligence (Securities Fraud)

Before a brokerage house can recommend a particular security to an investor, it must first conduct a due diligence investigation into the security, to make sure that it has a reasonable basis for the recommendation. Courts have held that in conducting due diligence, the brokerage house must look beyond the claims of the investment sponsor and act as sort of a gatekeeper for investors. When a brokerage house blandly accepts false information provided by an investment sponsor and passes it on to investors without conducting an adequate due diligence investigation, the brokerage can be held liable for investor losses caused by the inadequate due diligence.
