Recovery of Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Total Return ETN Losses

Did your financial advisor bet big on the Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Total Return ETN?  If so, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help.

The odds of increased long-term usage of natural gas appear to be improving, thanks to some impressive technological breakthroughs that have made, transportation becoming more affordable, and continued discoveries of new reserves. But prices haven’t held up in the short run, in large part because the supply of this fuel continues to grow at an astounding rate. Apparently this fund is down a staggering a 49%.

Financial professionals and brokerage firms have a duty to recommend only investments that are appropriate for the client in light of the client’s age, investment experience, net worth, and investment objectives.

While ETNs are often sold as conservative ways to track the market, or a particular sector of the market, this is an over-simplification of the complicated trading strategies necessary to accomplish this.  Additionally, tracking a particular sector of the market is not necessarily a conservative trading strategy (depending on the concentration level of the investment relative to the other assets in your account and the particular sector).

If your financial advisor bet big on an ETN like the Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Total Return ETN and you suffered substantial losses, you may have a claim to recover your losses through FINRA arbitration.

FINRA is the regulatory body governing the securities industry.  It has a dispute resolution forum specifically designed for disputes between investors and brokerage firms.

If you believe that your financial professional took an unnecessarily risky position in an ETN, the securities attorneys of The White Law Group may be able to help.
