DID RACHEL E. GOTTLIEB CAUSE YOU INVESTMENT LOSSES?

Rachel Gottlieb Of UBS Financial Services Has 2 Customer Complaints For Alleged Broker Misconduct

Rachel Gottlieb Customer Complaints and Reviews

Rachel E. Gottlieb’s professional record includes two customer disputes:

  • Customer Dispute 1 (Settled): Originated from the sale of an Auction Rate Security (ARS) before the ARS market’s widespread illiquidity crisis in February 2008. The firm agreed to repurchase the securities at issue at par value from the client under a global repurchase agreement with several regulatory bodies. This settlement, recorded on December 23, 2008, was for $150,000 but was not considered an admission of fault by Gottlieb, as she was not personally involved in the repayment to the client.
  • Customer Dispute 2 (Closed – No Action): On July 14, 2020, a client alleged unauthorized trading involving the sale of equities valued at $40,000, which Gottlieb denies. She asserts that all actions were based on verbal instructions received during a client meeting, focusing on diversification to mitigate risks associated with a concentrated position. This complaint was closed on August 17, 2020, with no action taken against her.

Allegations Against Rachel Gottlieb

The allegations against Rachel E. Gottlieb in the customer disputes include:

  • Allegation 1: Mismanagement related to the sale of Auction Rate Securities, claimed in the context of the 2008 financial crisis. The complaint was settled as part of a broader industry issue, not due to individual wrongdoing.
  • Allegation 2: Unauthorized trading concerning the sale and reinvestment of equity shares. Gottlieb responded that she acted upon the client’s verbal instructions and that the actions taken were part of a strategy agreed upon by the client, focusing on reducing risk through diversification. This complaint was closed with no action, indicating insufficient evidence to support the client’s claims.
