UBS Puerto Rico Financial Advisor, Wilson Trio, Under Investigation Over Sales of Leveraged Bon Funds

Along with other brokers/financial advisors, Wilson Dennis Colberg Trio of UBS Financial Services Inc. of Puerto Rico, is currently being investigated over alleged sales of proprietary municipal and leveraged bond funds offered by UBS Puerto Rico, including the Puerto Rico Fixed Income Funds I through VI, Tax-Free Puerto Rico Funds I and II, and Tax-Free Puerto Rico Target Maturity Funds.

UBS Puerto Rico has agreed to pay $26 million to settle charges that it allegedly mispriced closed end funds. Wilson Trio of UBS Puerto Rico, and branch offices in San Juan, Guaynabo, Ponce, and Hato Rey are currently under investigation. These funds may not have been appropriate for the conservative investor, and it is highly inappropriate for a broker or financial advisor to recommend to their clients borrowing on margin or line of credit to purchase a leveraged fund.

If you purchased funds from Wilson Dennis Colberg Trio or another broker/financial advisor of UBS of Puerto Rico, or through UBS in the United States, please call (888) 760-6552 for a free consultation on how you may be able to recover your investment losses. Soreide Law Group is currently representing investors nationally and internationally against UBS.
