Soreide Law Group has been contacted by several Miami investors at FMS (First Miami Securities, Inc.) who were allegedly recommended to sell investment grade bonds with shorter-duration to purchase longer-duration lower-rated Puerto Rican bonds.
Puerto Rican bond investors have suffered substantial losses due to the high risk of default by the bond issuers. Bond investors need to be aware that in addition to the credit risk associated with the bonds recommended by FMS, those investors with longer term maturities also have substantial interest rate risk.
If you have suffered substantial losses investing in Puerto Rico bonds with FMS, please give one of our securities attorneys a call to discuss your rights. Call (888) 760-6552 for a free case evaluation.
