Who is following the law when it comes to protecting investors’ funds?

Investment professionals must give investors accurate information about the risks of an investment. A mutual fund advisor who informs investors about risks is following that duty. Calling a stock “risk-free” or a land purchase “can’t-miss” can mislead investors, and selling CDs from nonfinancial institutions can involve products that lack the protections investors might expect.
