Guide

Fraud by a financial representative: assess a claim to the AMF financial services compensation fund

Confirm the authorized category and fraudulent act, quantify the loss, gather evidence and file before the deadline.

Priority

An investment loss, poor return or negligence is not automatically covered fraud. Report promptly to preserve other remedies.

Identify the representative

Verify registration, discipline, firm and product or service category at the time of the events.

Classify the conduct

Describe suspected fraud, fraudulent tactics or misappropriation and distinguish them from market loss, poor advice or a contract dispute.

Calculate the loss

Trace each transfer, withdrawal, false statement and recovery. Keep contracts, bank statements, communications, complaints and police reports.

File and preserve

Use the AMF form, meet the deadline and answer requests. Also check disciplinary complaints, insurers, institutions and civil action.
