Securities Lawyers Investigate Losses In UBS Willow Fund Hot

According to a press release, "many investors were advised that the Fund was a safe, low risk product." The Fund has declined about 80%.

"K&T is investigating whether UBS adequately disclosed the risks associated with the Willow Fund," says the release, "as well as whether investors’ portfolios were over-concentrated in the Fund."

The individual brokers and advisors who sold the Willow Fund are not the target of this investigation.

K&T is looking into UBS’s conduct in connection with its marketing of the Fund to its customers, and whether the Willow Fund deviated from its disclosed strategy of investing in distressed debt and instead started speculating in foreign sovereign debt credit default swaps. It is believed that credit default swaps eventually led to the collapse of the fund, and caused investors to lose a substantial portion of their investment.
