When stock purchases turn out to be lemons, it’s the investor who feels squeezed. IMS was tasked with finding a financial portfolio wealth management expert for a case involving equity investments that went sour.
Primary Case Issue
When the equity investments of a high-net-worth investment portfolio resulted in major monetary losses, was it bad luck or poor asset management? The stockholder in this breach of contract dispute alleged that the equity portions of certain investment accounts were improperly invested.
Expert Witness Requirements
- Financial Institution expertise managing investment accounts and portfolios of high-net-worth individuals
- Knowledge of accepted standards and practices in financial investment management
- Ability to provide consulting and investment analysis
- Holds a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential or is an independent financial consultant with an MBA
