UBS Investor Disputes Concern Michael Yochum

Soreide Law Group is conducting an investigation into potential claims on behalf of investors who may have suffered losses due to the actions of securities broker Michael Thomas Yochum (also known as Mike Yochum) [CRD#: 1126991, San Francisco, California]. Evidently, Michael Yochum is a registered broker and investment advisor with UBS Financial Services Inc., where he has been employed since July 3, 1986, and registered since July 8, 1997, at their San Francisco, CA location. Notably, investors brought forth disputes containing allegations of misrepresentation and unsuitability, particularly related to structured products.

Yochum Disclosed Allegations By UBS Financial Services Inc. Client

Particularly, a client of UBS Financial Services Inc. contested Michael Yochum's sales practices, according to a complaint dated October 27, 2020. Supposedly, Yochum failed to adhere to the client's instructions regarding distributions from his SEP IRA account. It appears that Yochum's alleged oversight caused the client to sustain damages. Therefore, the client sought compensatory relief from UBS Financial Services Inc. or Yochum in the amount of $39,490.34 in this matter. However, the complaint was denied on November 23, 2020.

UBS Financial Services Inc. Investor Accused Michael Yochum Of Misrepresentation

Notably, a UBS Financial Services Inc. client filed FINRA Arbitration: 11-00940 about Michael Yochum. Evidently, the client alleged that Yochum misrepresented the safety and suitability of structured products. Because of this, the client allegedly sustained damages on these structured products. Therefore, on August 6, 2012, UBS Financial Services Inc. settled this matter by paying the client $62,905.25 in damages. This settlement was reached without Yochum's monetary contribution and does not imply any admission of liability or misconduct on his part.

It appears that Yochum's conduct led the client to sustain damages on this product. Therefore, UBS Financial Services Inc. opted to settle the matter on March 23, 2012, by compensating the client in the amount of $22,500.
