Overview
UBS Under Investigation
Our subprime team is currently investigating UBS and its practices in selling, valuing and pricing securities. In recent years, UBS has been one of the leading underwriters of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. The firm has also sponsored hundreds of mutual funds, both public and private and domestic and international, many of which appear to have been invested in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities. Now UBS's pricings and valuations of these instruments have become highly suspect and the harm to investors throughout the world could be significant. Have UBS's clients and investors been overcharged for subprime securities they purchased? Have they paid too much in management fees? Were these securities sold as safe, low risk, AAA-rated securities? Are they being told the true value of their holdings? These are but a few of the questions we hope to answer.
