How We Help Institutional Investors Recover Losses & Take Control of Their Litigation
Institutional investors face unique challenges in safeguarding their capital against fraud, mismanagement, and negligence. At the Sotos Investor Protection Group, we specialize in recovering losses and ensuring fair capital market practices, empowering you to protect your beneficiaries.
With a proven track record of securing justice in complex litigation, the Sotos Investor Protection Group is your trusted partner in navigating complex financial litigation and recovering significant investment losses.
Our services for institutional investors include:
- recovering losses from misleading financial disclosure;
- recovering losses from investment fund mismanagement & misrepresentation claims; and
- recovering private equity losses through oppression remedy & derivative action claims.
These are claims that are often advanced through class actions. However, if your fund has suffered a significant loss, then group or individual litigation may better advance the interests of your fund beneficiaries than participating in a class action. If there is not yet a class action, there may be advantages to commencing one. The lawyers at Sotos Investor Protection Group can help you navigate the complexities of these claims and determine what course of action will best meet your goals. Learn more about each of these kinds of claims by clicking below, or schedule an initial consultation with members of the Sotos Investor Protection Group by calling us at 416.977.0007 or emailing one of our key contacts below.
Securities Misrepresentation Claims
Corporate misrepresentations erode trust in capital markets and cost investors billions annually. If your fund has suffered due to misleading disclosures, we can help you take decisive action to recover losses and advance your beneficiaries’ best interests.
Securities misrepresentation lawsuits present an opportunity for institutional investors to recover losses. If you manage a widely diversified portfolio of investments including a significant number of securities traded on the TSX or another Canadian exchange, there is a high chance that the beneficiaries of your portfolio (or you or your organization as trustee) have claims against multiple publicly traded companies for secondary market misrepresentation. You are, or likely will be, members of class actions related to these claims.
What if there is no class action? You can start an action on behalf of the beneficiaries of your funds, either a class action, group action with other institutions, or an individual action. There are strategic reasons each of these options may be advantageous in different situations. Sotos Investor Protection Group can help you evaluate your options and make an informed choice about how to proceed.
What if there is a class action but you are not the lead plaintiff? If you are a member of class action, but not the lead plaintiff, you have little to no control over the class action. This means you have little control over settlement negotiations, strategic decisions in the litigation, when to settle, when to proceed to trial, or how much the lawyers prosecuting the claim are paid. This is true even if the fund you manage has suffered millions of dollars in losses. You may be able to better advance the interests of the fund beneficiaries through individual or group litigation which will put you in control.

Investment Fund Mismanagement & Misrepresentation Claims
Mismanagement of mutual funds or ETFs can lead to significant losses for your portfolio. Our team ensures that such misconduct does not go unanswered, helping you recover damages and protect your beneficiaries’ interests, and recover investable capital.
As with securities misrepresentation claims, there are often class actions related to fund mismanagement. If you are not the lead plaintiff in the class action, you have little control over the litigation – even if your fund suffered millions of dollars in losses. You may be better able to protect the interests of the fund beneficiaries through individual or group litigation which will provide you with control over all aspects of the litigation including when to settle, when to continue to go to trial, and how much your lawyers get paid for prosecuting the lawsuit.
If there is not yet a class action for your claim, it may be to your advantage to commence one rather than an individual lawsuit. Each of these options may be advantageous to a fund in different situations. Sotos Investor Protection Group can help you evaluate your options and make an informed choice about how to proceed.

Private Equity Oppression Remedy & Derivative Action Claims
If your investment fund has suffered losses in private equity or other non-publicly traded securities, it may be possible to recover those losses. While these claims may not be as amenable to class litigation, individual or group actions may allow you to best advance the interests of your fund beneficiaries. Often, these claims may be brought by way of oppression remedy or through derivative actions. Such actions can be complex, requiring specialized legal expertise.
