On June 21, 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) is preparing a civil enforcement action against Merrill Lynch, the brokerage arm of Bank of America (NYSE: BAC). The action relates to “Strategic Return Notes” that Merrill Lynch sold in 2010, which, since being sold, have lost nearly 95% of their value. According to the report, “the five-year notes lost value rapidly after they were issued, as market volatility fell and the cost of buying the options upon which the notes were based rose sharply.” Two former Merrill Lynch brokers allege that they were never warned that the underlying roll costs that caused the decline in value could grow so large.
