According to various reports, certain of UBS’s family of Puerto Rico funds have suffered catastrophic losses.  The White Law Group continues to investigate potential claims involving UBS’s Family of Puerto Rico Funds and the liability that various entities may have for these losses.  The claims the firm is investigating include potential claims for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and negligent supervision.

Broker-dealers have a fiduciary duty to perform adequate due diligence on any investment prior to recommending them for sale to their clients and to ensure that the investments it recommends are appropriate for the client in light of the clients age, investment experience, net worth, and investment objectives.  To the extent that a broker or brokerage firm recommended a UBS Puerto Rico Fund inappropriately, they may be help responsible in a FINRA arbitration claim.
