According to founding partner, Steven D. Toskes, “Our client worked over 37 years with UPS and accumulated shares through UPS's Employee Stock Purchase Plan and Managers Incentive Program. Citigroup loaned funds using UPS stock and other securities as collateral but failed to implement a risk management strategy to protect the concentrated stock.” Mr. Toskes continues, “Any time a client has a concentrated, leveraged stock position, the prudent practice is to protect the downside to prevent a margin call through a risk management strategy such as a prepaid forward contract, collar or protective put option. This case was about the failure of Citigroup to protect our client’s UPS stock which represented the vast majority of his life savings.”
Concentrated stock positions represent a long term holding acquired through investment, inheritance or as an employee of the company. “Employees who participate in Employee Stock Purchase Plans (“ESPP”) can be particularly susceptible to concentrated stock positions and their respective financial advisors should ensure that these positions are protected from unforeseen market events by diversifying or hedging these positions accordingly,” said Raymond Gentile, Esq. Full-service brokerage firms are obligated to give, and investors are entitled to rely upon, brokerage firms for competent, suitable investment advice concerning risk management strategies for concentrated stock positions. Brokerage firms are required to supervise the activities in brokerage accounts, and losses may be attributed to the failure to adequately supervise the financial advisor. Recommendations of unsuitable investments and/or maintaining unprotected concentrated stock positions 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 FINRA.
