Have you suffered investment losses in a UBS Puerto Rico Fund investment? If so, The White Law Group may be able to help you recover your losses through a FINRA arbitration claim against the brokerage firm that sold you the investment.
The White Law Group is investigating the liability that FINRA registered broker-dealers may have for recommending risky closed-end municipal bond fund investments like UBS’s family of Puerto Rico Funds.
According to the Investment News, UBS’s proprietary closed-end bond funds in its Puerto Rico family of funds have suffered significant decreases in value. It appears that UBS sold their UBS Puerto Rico Funds by highlighting the potential tax benefits and glossing over or even misrepresenting the risks.
Brokerage firms and financial advisers have a fiduciary duty to perform due diligence on any investment they recommend and to insure that an investment is appropriate in light of the investor’s age, net worth, income, investment experience, and investment objectives. If a broker or brokerage firm recommends an investment unsuitably, investors may have an actionable claim to recover their investment losses in a claim through FINRA dispute resolution.
