Silver Law Group Continues Investigation into UBS Puerto Rico for Investment Losses in UBS Puerto Rico Fixed Income Bond Funds


SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, Oct. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Silver Law Group announces its continued investigation into UBS Puerto Rico for questionable sales practices related to its closed-end bond funds and fixed income funds. Puerto Rico-based investors in leveraged fixed income funds and other closed-end funds may have potential claims against UBS and other broker-dealers for damages, including overconcentration, unsuitable investment recommendations, improper use of leverage, and other related causes of action.

UBS sold the flawed products from offices in San Juan and elsewhere, promoting the funds as preserving capital while providing a reliable income stream. Many conservative and elderly investors purchased these funds for their retirement. UBS is now allegedly investigating advisors who may have improperly recommended loans to customers to purchase the Funds. In some cases, the true risks of these investments were not disclosed to the clients, many of whom could not afford to take the risks associated with these investments.  For clients who invested in the following funds, some, or all, of the investment losses might be recoverable through FINRA arbitration or in another venue: Tax-Free Puerto Rico Fund, Tax-Free Puerto Rico Fund II, Tax-Free Puerto Rico Target Maturity Fund, Puerto Rico AAA Portfolio Target Maturity Fund, Inc., Puerto Rico AAA Portfolio Bond Fund, Puerto Rico AAA Portfolio Bond Fund II, Puerto Rico GNMA & U.S. Government Target Maturity Fund, Puerto Rico Mortgage-Backed & U.S. Government Securities Fund, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund II, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund III, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund IV, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund V, Puerto Rico Fixed Income Fund VI, Puerto Rico Short Term Investment Fund, Multi-Select Securities Puerto Rico Fund, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund II, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund III, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund IV, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund V, Puerto Rico Investors Tax-Free Fund VI.
