BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

The Securities Arbitration Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, P.A., www.nasd-law.com announced today that it continues to investigate UBS Financial Services (UBS) in connection with the sale of senior unsecured notes, issued by affiliated banks of parent company UBS AG UBS. In response to a Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) Cease and Desist Order, UBS AG submitted an Offer of Settlement which included payment of $19.4 million for violations of securities laws related to the issue and sale of senior unsecured notes linked to the V10 Currency Index. According to the SEC, "The V10 was a proprietary index, developed and sponsored by UBS that measured the performance of a hypothetical algorithmic trading strategy designed to identify and exploit trends in G10 foreign exchange forward rates."

According to yesterday's SEC press release, "Between December 2009 and November 2010 approximately 1,900 U.S. investors bought approximately $190 million of structured notes linked to the V10 index." As a part of the settlement offer, UBS agreed to refrain from similar future violations and pay "disgorgement and prejudgment interest of $11.5 million" and to pay "a civil monetary penalty of $8 million."
