UBS-RTPF/TARF: Settlement Options with Compensation of up to 90% – Affected Investors Can Still Come Forward

The Swiss Investors Protection Association (Schweizerischer Anlegerschutzverein, SASV) continues to receive reports from investors who have suffered financial losses through so-called RTPF (Range Target Profit Forwards) or similar UBS products. The SASV sees indications of inadequate risk disclosure and calls on affected individuals to have their claims reviewed.

Complex Products with High Risk of Loss

RTPF products are complex, structured foreign exchange forward transactions. According to the SASV’s assessment, these products were in many cases marketed aggressively, without the specific risks – particularly the possibility of very substantial losses – being explained clearly enough to private clients. Affected investors state that the products did not match their risk profile.

Media Reports: UBS Open to Settlements

According to its own statements, UBS has already concluded out-of-court settlements in numerous cases and compensated the affected clients. This aligns with information available to the SASV, indicating that settlement amounts of up to 90% of the losses have been agreed. Only in exceptional cases – namely where investors were demonstrably professional clients – has UBS taken a more restrictive approach.

Against this background, the SASV recommends that all affected investors who have not yet reached a settlement take action.

Affected Investors Can Register

The SASV invites all investors who have suffered losses from UBS RTPF products to contact the association via the following form. The aim is to obtain an overview of the remaining open cases and to inform affected individuals about possible next steps.
