Question juridique clé
Whether the advisor breached its duty of diligence by recommending the fund in 2000 without mentioning an isolated negative 1998 press article.
Solution extraite
The article was not an objectively important element that had to be disclosed at that time; no breach was shown.
Motifs extraits
The article was old, isolated, and had no effect on investors or supervisors; the fund's value had continued to rise, and the clients failed to show causation.
