Investor Alert: Convercent, Inc.

Convercent Inc. Shareholders may have Claims

The White Law Group is investigating potential FINRA lawsuits involving broker dealers who may have unsuitably recommended an investment in Convercent Inc. to its clients.

Convercent Inc., a software company, is reportedly focused on helping companies design and implement compliance programs. The company’s governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) software integrates the management of corporate compliance risk, cases, disclosures, training and policies, according to its website.

The company, based in Denver, Colorado reportedly filed a form D to raise capital from investors in 2016.  The total offering amount was purportedly $11,000,000. 

Alternative investments such as this one are complex and inherently risky products. Unfortunately for investors, many investments have taken a hit due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, and some have suspended distributions during this  uncertain time.

Compared to traditional investments, such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, alternative investments are significantly more complex and often better suited for sophisticated and institutional investors.

High commissions could be a motivating factor for unscrupulous financial advisors to sell private placement investments regardless of whether the investment is in line with the client’s investment objectives and profile.  Moreover, the total commissions and expenses make it difficult for the investment to perform in line with the market.

Alternative investments also tend to be illiquid. Investors looking to sell these investments often have difficulty finding a buyer, and if they are able to find one, can suffer significant losses on the sale.

Filing a Complaint Against your Brokerage Firm

Prior to making recommendations to an individual investor, brokerage firms are required by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) to disclose all the risks of an investment. Recommendations should only be made if the investment is suitable for an individual investor given their age, investment objections, investment experience and risk tolerance.

Brokerage firms that do not perform adequate due diligence on an investment and/or make unsuitable recommendations can be held accountable for investment losses through FINRA arbitration.
