Securities Law Firm of Tramont Guerra Nunez, PA Investigates Claims for MF Global Holdings Ltd 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes on Behalf of Investors

Coral Gables, Florida (PRWEB) November 15, 2011 – The Securities Law Firm of Tramont Guerra & Nunez, P.A. (TGN) investigates claims on behalf of investors, in light of the recent bankruptcy filing by MF Global Holdings Ltd. (MF Global), for MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 issued through Offering documents including registrations statements and prospectus. On November 3, 2011, MF Global reported in a SEC filing Form 8-K that the company “filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.” The bankruptcy petition Case No. 11-15059 (MG) was filed three months after the MF Global 3.375% Senior Notes were issued to the investing public. According to the prospectus, the Underwriters of the MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes include the joint book-running managers, Goldman Sachs & Co. and Citigroup, and co-managers, BofA Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank Securities. According to TGN, the Underwriters of MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes offered to the investing public have an obligation to conduct a due diligence investigation concerning facts related to the Notes. The Securities Act of 1933, Sections 11 and 12(a) (2), subject Underwriters to potential liability for the failure to ensure the accuracy of information provided in registration statements and prospectuses. Three months after the public offering for the MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes, MF Global filed a petition for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In light of the bankruptcy filing, TGN urges investors who acquired MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes through full-service brokerage firms, to consider what recourse is available to recover their investment losses.

According to TGN, the Underwriters who managed the MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes Offering solicited their clients to invest in MF Global Notes and represented the Notes as a safe, stable source of income for risk adverse investors. Full-service brokerage firms are obligated to give, and investors are entitled to rely upon, brokerage firms for competent, suitable investment advice for securities held in customer accounts. Brokerage firms who act as Underwriters for MF Global 3.375% Convertible Senior Notes are required to perform adequate due diligence concerning the risks associated with the Notes they underwrite before they recommend them for investment in client accounts. Recommendations which result in unsuitable investment advice and/or a failure to conduct adequate due diligence which result in misrepresentations or omissions of material facts are both causes of action that may be available to investors against their full-service brokerage firm in an individual securities arbitration claim filed with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, FINRA.
