UBS ordered to pay $2.9 million in another FINRA arbitration claim. The financial Industry Regulator authority (FINRA) awarded Ana Teresa Lopes-Gonzales and Andres Ricardo Gomez $2.4 million in damages and about $480,000 for attorneys fees.
According to Investment News, Gonzales and Gomez were part of a $10 million group claim Filed against UBS Financial Services of Puerto Rico. The claim alleged unsuitability and misinterpretations in connection to UBSPR’s closed-end funds. The other investors in the claim settled with UBS before the hearing.
Investment News reports that more than $1.1 billion in claims have been filed by investors in UBS’s Puerto Rico closed-end funds (including many by The White Law Group). Many of the claims allege UBS encouraged customers to purchase the risky closed end funds that invested heavily in securities issued by Puerto Rico. In some claims investors allege UBS advisers offered customers loans to invest in the funds.
