The collapse of the market for auction rate securities (“ARS”) left investors who thought they had a safe, liquid investment with illiquid securities. While there have been a number of government settlements with sellers of ARS, the agreements have focused on providing a recovery for small investors, leaving corporate and institutional purchasers of these securities to pursue their own remedies. Nevertheless, there are meaningful opportunities for corporate purchasers of these securities to recover their investments. Prompt action is required, as described further in this Porter Wright Law Alert.
