Investors in Morgan Keegan & RMK Funds were Mislead

The precipitous decline in these funds was the result of their large investments in illiquid securities known as: Collateralized Bond Obligations (CBOs), Collateralized Loan Obligations (CLOs), and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMOs). These securities rarely trade and have no active quotations. However, the illiquidity of these securities did not stop the funds from continuing to purchase them. To make matters worse, the funds invested heavily in CMOs based on subprime mortgages. In the summer of 2007, the subprime mortgage crisis began as defaults and foreclosures began to reach record numbers. As as result, many of the securities that held these types of mortgages lost a tremendous amount of their value or became completely worthless

The Morgan Keegan Select Intermediate Bond Fund and the Morgan Keegan Select High Income Fund were the only two intermediate term or high-yield bond funds that invested so heavily in these types of securities. In making these investments, Morgan Keegan violated the terms stated in the prospectuses for both of these funds, and mislead investors. For example, sales material dated June 30, 2007 states "Opportunity for High Current Income - The relatively conservative credit posture of the Fund reflects our goal of higher yields without excessive credit risk.” Investors in these Morgan Keegan funds were lead to believe they were making safe and conservative investments, but in reality this couldn't be further from the truth.

It is one thing to lose money in the stock market when you know you are making risky investments. However, when an investor is lead to believe they are making a conservative investment in a bond mutual fund and then loses 50 to 60 percent of their investment, someone needs to be held accountable. Morgan Keegan and Regions Morgan Keegan intentionally mislead investors who purchased these funds. If you lost money investing in either one of these funds you may be entitled to compensation.
