Invested money doesn’t have to be lost
The capital market does not always play fair. Institutional investors feel this just as private investors do. Fraudsters often act very cunningly, causing even experienced institutional investors to fall into their traps and lose large sums. Our lawyers stand by you in such cases and show ways how the invested capital can at least still be partially saved and losses minimized.
Of course, not every failed capital investment is an attempted fraud. Nevertheless, the list of shares, bonds, fund participations, and other investment assets that have caused investors significant losses is long. However, the money does not necessarily have to be lost forever. Unlike private investors, institutional investors usually cannot claim faulty investment advice where they were not sufficiently informed about the risks. However, they may have claims for damages against issuers due to prospect errors or against auditors if they have not sufficiently fulfilled their audit duties. Also, claims for damages due to a breach of ad-hoc duties may be considered.
Weak points and attack areas
The information in the issuing prospectuses is of great importance to institutional investors and their investment decisions. Therefore, the prospectus information must be complete and truthful. Faulty prospectus information can therefore lead to claims for damages. After all, this is not about the experience horizon of an individual investor, but about hidden money flows affecting institutional investors just like private investors.
Our lawyers have been advising issuers in capital markets law for many years and accompany them, among others, in the creation of a proper prospectus. Therefore, our lawyers know exactly where the small and large errors in the prospectuses are and where the attack points are to enforce claims for damages.
Causal link between certificate and investment decision
Institutional investors generally rely on the certificates of auditors. If auditors breach their audit duties, investors may have claims for damages due to this. The Munich Higher Regional Court confirmed in a decision dated 9.12.2021 that there can be a causal relationship between issued certificates and investment decisions (File no.: 8 U 6063/21).
We examine in all directions whether claims for damages can be made and who might be a potential defendant.
