Bakhtiari & Harrison continues its thorough investigation into the sales practices of Mark Heiden, a broker with Wedbush, particularly scrutinizing his management of client accounts and the significant overconcentration of investments in energy-related stocks. The specific investments under review include:
- Energy XXI Bermuda Ltd.
- Clearbridge American Energy MLP
- Goldman Sachs MLP Energy
- Arch Coal
- Seadrill
These particular stocks are noteworthy due to their volatility and the inherent risks associated with the energy sector. The overconcentration in these stocks raises concerns about the prudence of Heiden’s investment strategy and whether it aligns with the best interests of his clients.
Our investigation aims to determine whether all material risks of the recommended investments were adequately disclosed to clients. Transparency in disclosing investment risks is crucial in maintaining trust and ensuring clients make informed decisions. Furthermore, we are examining whether Heiden implemented an appropriate risk management strategy. Proper risk management is essential to protect clients’ portfolios from significant losses, especially in sectors known for their unpredictability, such as energy.
Energy XXI Bermuda Ltd. has been a particularly contentious investment due to its historical volatility and the financial challenges it has faced. Clients invested in this stock may have experienced substantial fluctuations in their portfolio values. Clearbridge American Energy MLP and Goldman Sachs MLP Energy also represent significant concentrations in energy investments, which may not align with the risk tolerance of all investors. Arch Coal and Seadrill have similarly raised concerns due to their market performance and financial stability.
Investors trust their brokers to make prudent decisions that align with their financial goals and risk tolerance. When brokers fail to disclose the full extent of risks or concentrate investments in a manner that exposes clients to undue risk, it can lead to significant financial losses and breaches of fiduciary duty. Bakhtiari & Harrison is committed to holding such practices accountable and ensuring that clients receive the transparency and protection they deserve.
