Advising several institutional investors in a dispute against the management company of a UCITS, for breaches of professional rules.

Context

We are representing several institutional investors in a liability action against the management company of a mutual fund, for failure to comply with professional rules and the obligations set out in the fund’s prospectus. This action follows the unilateral suspension of the right to redeem units, in breach of the conditions and guarantees required by regulations.

 

Our intervention is based on an in-depth analysis of the company’s management practices, in particular with regard to asset valuation, risk exposure and compliance with fiduciary obligations towards unitholders. We examine any irregularities in the fund’s management, identifying failures that may have caused harm to investors.

 

Our approach combines legal expertise and operational risk assessment to demonstrate the responsibility of the management company. We work with experts in asset management and financial regulation to establish how the shortcomings identified directly impacted the fund’s performance and stability.

 

In bringing this action, our aim is to obtain compensation for impacted investors. Thanks to a rigorous and targeted legal strategy, our firm is able to meet the complex challenges of this financial litigation.
