UBS Yield Enhancement Strategies | Goodman & Nekvasil P.A. May Recover Investor Losses
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES) is a complex investment strategy pitched as low-risk by stockbrokers at UBS Group. According to the WSJ, YES, has generated at least $60 million in losses for clients and more than two dozen customer complaints, according to a lawyer for the investors.
According to the WSJ, the strategy involved the use of several option trades and borrowing, according to marketing materials, and faltered when volatility in the stock and bond markets intensified last year. According to the WSJ, in just one month late last year, the strategy had losses exceeding 13%, a customer-account statement indicates.
According to the WSJ, the strategy’s losses highlight the risks in financial bets during periods of heightened volatility in the markets. According to the WSJ, the YES strategy typically involved putting on four different options trades—relating to an underlying stock index, such as the S&P 500—at different strike prices but with the same expiration date. According to the WSJ, the strike price can be the point at which the owner of a “call” option can buy or the owner of a “put” option can sell the underlying security.
According to Seeking Alpha:
Many investors did not even know that they were engaged in a risky options strategy which required that they be qualified for risky options trading by the firm. Clients of brokerage firms face numerous hurdles before they are given the green light to trade options. Many of these clients paying for the YES strategy were simply not qualified.
