Soreide Law Group, PLLC, is currently investigating, for several clients, Morgan Keegan fund losses.

Morgan Keegan allegedly marketed the funds as safe investments that were suitable for low-risk investors. When the housing market crashed in 2007, the funds fell in value. Investors meanwhile experienced huge financial losses.

Many lawsuits and arbitration claims have been filed against Morgan Keegan, as well as against several of the company’s top executives. Evidence has continued to back up investors’ claims that the Memphis-based brokerage allegedly misled clients when it marketed and sold the bond funds.

Additional charges came in April, 2010, when the Securities and Exchange Commission, (SEC) state regulators and FINRA charged Morgan Keegan and two employees – James Kelsoe and Joe Weller – with fraud for inflating the value of the risky securities held by the bond funds.

If you or a loved one have lost money in an RMK bond fund, call Soreide Law Group, PLLC at (888) 760-6552 and speak to a FINRA Arbitration Lawyer free of charge to discuss how you could potentially recover your losses, or visit http://www.stockmarketlawsuit.com.

Couple Awarded $265K in Maddoff Losses by FINRA

Jeffrey and Marisel Lieberman invested $200,000 in 2007, with Morgan Keegan, in what they allegedly felt was a safe and conservative investment. All of their money was deposited into the Fairfield Greenwich Group hedge fund, which was a conduit to Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.
Recently they were awarded a $265,000 arbitration settlement against Morgan Keegan by FINRA.  Besides the $200,000.00 restitution, Morgan Keegan was also ordered to pay the Liebermans $65,000 in damages and court costs.
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration panel called Morgan Keegan “grossly negligent” in its ruling. FINRA stated that “there is clear and convincing evidence that Morgan Keegan was grossly negligent in not performing substantial due diligence and as a result it fraudulently misrepresented the risk of this investment.” The FINRA panel also found Morgan Keegan liable for failing to conduct “substantial due diligence” as required by Morgan Keegan’s own internal procedures. It should be noted that the FINRA arbitration panel also mentioned in their ruling, that not only do Morgan Keegan’s internal procedures require them to perform due diligence, but this obligation extends to all brokerage firms that recommend these types of investments to their customers.
Soreide Law Group, PLLC, is currently investigating potential claims on behalf of investors who lost money through the purchase of hedge funds recommended by  brokers/brokerages. If you invested in these “feeder hedge funds,” such as Greenwich, call a Securities Arbitration Lawyer for a free consultation on how to potentially recover your losses.  To speak with an attorney, call 888-760-6552, or visit www.stockmarketlawsuit.com.
