Surevest advisors allegedly invested client accounts in high risk portfolios, including heavy allocations to equities and private placement securities, such as non-traded REITs, while allocating very little to traditionally low risk investments like bonds. Moreover, these clients have alleged that these high risk investment allocations were recommended and implemented for the clients regardless of the investor's age, risk tolerance, or other considerations.

As a result of these inappropriate investment recommendations, these clients have claimed that they suffered tremendous losses which would not have occurred had the accounts been properly managed and invested. If you have any information about these allegations of Surevest Capital Management's investment strategy, or if you have held an account with Surevest which suffered as a result of similar problems, contact the law firm of Shepherd, Smith, Edwards & Kantas LLP for a free, confidential consultation, which may include an evaluation of your account.
