Stock fraud is something that no one should ever go through, not only does it mean that a trusted individual took advantage of you, but it means that you most likely have lost money as a result. There are form main categories the Napoli Bern Ripka, LLP, deals with when it comes to stock fraud. Four of the main categories are that Napoli Bern Ripka, LLP deal with are misrepresentation, unsuitability, overconcentration, and churning. All four of these types of stock fraud are very serious and can result in a great loss in money for clients.

Here is a little in depth look of what each one means and how it can affect you. Misrepresentation is when the stock broker, who is very knowledgeable, tricks the customer about the stock they are investing in. Whether it is because they are doing a job for an outside company in which they will receive money, of if it is because they are doing it in order to make themselves money it is very dangerous to the client financially. Not only does the stock broker intentionally mislead the client through telling them the risks are not as high as they may seem, or that there aren't as many risk factors associated with the stock. This can be done on two levels, the first is an individual level which means the stock broker is the only one doing it, or it can also be done on a company level where the entire company is in on it.

The second type is overconcentration. With overconcentration the stock broker does not diversify the client's portfolio enough and as a result money can be lost. This is because a client's portfolio is very important and it is even more important for the stocks to be diversified because if all of the clients money is in one area, if that area does poorly a lot of money can be lost to the client which is completely unfair especially since the stock broker was being trusted with the client's money.

The third type of stock fraud that is most commonly dealt with by Napoli Bern Ripka LLP, is unsuitability. Through unsuitability the stock broker goes out of his way to recommend stocks to the client that are outside their risk tolerance, by doing this money is put in undesirable stocks and the client accumulates much more risk than they would have if they invested in stocks that were less risky.

The fourth type is called churning, when churning occurs additional money is tagged onto the broker's fees so they are essentially stealing money from the client secretly, this type of stock fraud is less see by Napoli Bern Ripka, LLP, but it is still pretty common.
