A UBS YES investor represented by securities lawyer Alan Rosca and his colleagues at the Rosca Scarlato law firm has filed claims in arbitration, seeking compensation for losses suffered as a result of an investment in the UBS Yield Enhancement trading program. The claim was filed against multi-national brokerage firm UBS.
The securities attorneys at Rosca Scarlato are preparing additional claims on behalf of other UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy (“YES”) investors and plan to file those claims for compensation on the investors’ behalves.

UBS YES investors received marketing materials that described the “YES” program as an option-based trading strategy which sought to increase returns for investors who committed a certain minimum amount of their portfolio (called a “Mandate”) to the YES program. Prospective YES investors were often shown a presentation, or “slide deck,” which purported to describe YES program’s option trading.

The UBS YES investor represented by the Rosca Scarlato alleged in the recently-filed case that the marketing materials he received were materially incomplete and omitted important disclosures regarding the YES trading program. Those disclosures pertained, among others, to the actual risks surrounding the program and the trading strategy employed by the YES program.
UBS YES investors have started seeing losses in their portfolios in December 2018, and those losses have continued to increase earlier this year, even as many investors started expressing serious concerns about the direction of their portfolios and the trading strategy.
The claim filed by the Rosca Scarlato securities lawyers on behalf of the UBS YES investor seeks compensation for the investor’s losses in view of the trading strategy and risk disclosures surrounding the YES program. The claim focuses on important issues, including (1) whether the UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy fully and adequately disclosed to investors important and major risks associated with the YES program; (2) whether the YES program was suitable for those investors’ investment profile; (3) whether some investors’ portfolios may have been overly-concentrated in the YES program; and (4) whether the actual trading strategy was consistent with the advertised strategy in the YES presentations and brochures.
Attorney Alan Rosca and his colleagues are in touch with other UBS YES investors and are preparing additional cases on their behalf. Investors from across the country have contacted the Rosca Scarlato to discuss about their YES losses and potential recovery options. While the minimum mandate required to participate in the UBS program was $2 million, investors come from all walks of life and have various personal and professional backgrounds.
The Rosca Scarlato are also continuing to investigate this matter and assemble useful information. Their investigation is focused on issues including those surrounding the trading in the Yield Enhancement Strategy program; the risk disclosures; the risk controls employed by UBS; the oversight of UBS’ compliance department over the YES program and the trading in the program; and certain disclosures of past performance surrounding the YES program and any predecessor programs. Individuals with knowledge of such matters as set forth above are encouraged to contact attorneys Alan Rosca or Paul Scarlato, in confidence, to provide information and/or further discuss.
