Sonn Law Group is investigating allegations that brokers from UBS Financial Services and TD Ameritrade recommended to their clients that they invest in UBS ETRACS exchange-trade notes (“ETNs”), despite the fact that these investments are unsuitable for many investors.
UBS ETRACS ETNs are unsecured debt securities designed to track the total return of a certain market index. UBS characterizes the notes as “senior” and “unsubordinated.” Unsubordinated debt, or senior debt, must be repaid before any other form of debt. If the debtor goes bankrupt, holders of this type of debt are the first to be paid.

The value of the ETNs has plummeted approximately 60%, triggering mandatory redemption and raising questions about sales practice violations by brokers who recommended the investments.
During March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused the global markets to crash which resulted in mandatory redemption of these ETRACS at losses of 60% or more to investors:

Financial advisors are required to make suitable investment recommendations, accounting for your age, income, net worth, investment experience, and investment objectives. Sonn Law Group is investigating whether brokers who recommended these investments sufficiently disclosed their risks to investors. UBS Financial advisors should not have sold risky ETRACS to retirees or other conservative investors who needed income or principal preservation.
