UBS Puerto Rico Bond Misrepresentations

UBS Financial Services, Inc. of Puerto Rico has 5 branches and over 100 financial advisors. In 2013, UBS Puerto Rico reported significant financial losses across multiple, proprietary closed-end bond funds. It is alleged that UBS Puerto Rico made serious misrepresentations and material omissions about the liquidity and pricing of non-exchange traded, closed-end bonds. Upon information and belief UBS of Puerto Rico purchased millions of dollars of closed-end funds to promote the appearance of a stable market and UBS Puerto Rico did not disclose their actions and inform investors that the prices and liquidity were artificially high.

UBS financial advisors often sold these leveraged bonds to retirees and conservative investors. Leveraged bonds are a very risky, volatile investment and are often not recommended to conservative investors. However, UBS Puerto Rico frequently sold to conservative investors, and even encouraged retirees to borrow money in order to purchase these leveraged bonds.
