Zamansky LLC Investigates UBS ETRACs (HDLV, SMHD, DVHL, CEFL, CEFZ, BDCL, LBDC, MORL, MRRL, LRET, MLPQ, HOML, MLPZ, LMLP and WTID) for Possible Sales Practice Violations

Zamansky LLC is investigating UBS Financial Services Inc. (UBS), the broker-dealer, over possible sale practice violations which resulted in losses to investors in ETRACs (Symbols: HDLV, SMHD, DVHL, CEFL, CEFZ, BDCL, LBDC, MORL, MRRL, LRET, MLPQ, HOML, MLPZ, LMLP and WTID). UBS ETRACs are exchange-traded notes which track and provide monthly payments based on various market indexes.

According to Jake Zamansky, securities fraud attorney, we are investigating whether UBS financial advisors sold these ETRACs to their customers without sufficiently disclosing their risk. These ETRACS were extremely risky and speculative because they make leveraged bets on the volatile market sectors. Zamansky says, UBS financial advisors should not have sold ETRACS to retirees or other conservative investor who needed income or principal preservation.

During March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the global markets to crash which resulted in mandatory redemption of these ETRACS at losses of 60% or more to investors:
