“The growth in allegations of fraudulent activities such as insider trading, investors being misled on trading strategies, and other conflicts of interest between investors and funds, fund families, and brokers has triggered increased scrutiny of pension funds, mutual funds, and hedge funds. Our securities experts study, investigate, and assess a variety of issues including:
• pension fund investment returns for Employment Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) claims;
• risk taking, market timing, and investment suitability of pension funds, mutual funds, and hedge funds;
• potential conflicts of interest arising from the simultaneous management of mutual funds and hedge funds;
• Ponzi schemes and other accounting fraud, along with related investor damage claims;
• the merit of excessive fee claims through examination of fund trading behavior and investment styles; and
• the appropriateness of fund disclosure.”
