UBS Investor Accused Gary Harlap Of Overconcentration

Specifically, on December 30, 2025, a UBS Financial Services Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration No. 25-02826 about Igor Harlap. Primarily, the client alleged that Harlap overconcentrated accounts. For this reason, the client allegedly incurred damages connected to alternative investments and structured notes. Therefore, the client requested between $100,000 and $500,000 in compensation from UBS Financial Services Inc. or Harlap. BrokerCheck shows that this arbitration is ongoing.
