UBS RingCentral Autocallable Notes Investor Lawsuits

UBS RingCentral Autocallable Notes Results in Potential Significant Investor Risk

The White Law Group is investigating potential securities lawsuits involving UBS RingCentral Autocallable Notes.

Investors who purchased a structured product from UBS linked to RingCentral, Inc. may face significant downside risk depending on stock performance.  

The structured note in question—UBS’s Contingent Income Auto-Callable Securities linked to the Common Stock of RingCentral, Inc. (CUSIP: 90285B763)—was issued in November 2021 with a face value of $18,673,860. The note’s performance is tied to the share price of RingCentral, and poor performance could substantially reduce or eliminate the final payout.

Details of the Investment – UBS RingCentral Autocallable 

• Issue Date: November 3, 2021
• Linked Security: RingCentral Inc. Common Stock (NYSE: RNG)
• Product Type: Contingent Income Auto-Callable Structured Note
• Face Value: $18,673,860
• Final Payout: Depends on RingCentral stock price on October 29, 2024
• If price ? $170.65 (70% of initial price): $10 + final coupon ($0.3538) per note
• If price < $170.65: $10 × (final share price ÷ $243.78) — leading to potential full loss
• Total Loss Potential: Up to 100% of principal. This means that an investor who put in
  $100,000 could receive as little as $0 if the stock declines significantly, or up to approximately $10,353.80 if the security is called early or the stock performs well.

Why Could the Investment Lose Value?

Autocallable structured products offer enhanced coupons but expose investors to losses if the underlying stock underperforms. In this case:

• The note automatically calls if RNG stock closes ? $243.78 on any observation date.
• If not called, and the stock closes < $170.65 on maturity, investors lose value
  dollar-for-dollar with the stock’s decline from the initial price.
• Coupons are contingent and only paid if the stock is above the threshold on
  determination dates.

Understanding the Risks of Autocallable Notes

Although marketed with quarterly coupon potential and limited downside, risks include:

• Market risk of the underlying stock (RNG).
• Credit risk of UBS AG.
• No protection if stock breaches the downside threshold.
• Illiquidity and possible early call risk limiting gains.

Did Your Financial Advisor Recommend This Investment (UBS RingCentral Autocallable)?

Brokerage firms have a duty to ensure that investment recommendations are suitable for each client, based on their risk tolerance, investment objectives, and overall financial profile. If your financial advisor recommended this RingCentral-linked structured note without fully explaining the risks—or if it was an unsuitable recommendation for your needs—you may be able to recover your investment losses through FINRA arbitration.

FINRA Arbitration vs. Class Action

Many investors wonder if a class action lawsuit is better than pursuing an individual FINRA arbitration claim. Generally:

• If your losses exceed $100,000, individual arbitration may be more appropriate.
• Class actions are typically better suited for smaller, uniform claims.
