UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES) Losses?


UBS customers who have lost money in the UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES), may be able to recover losses by filing an arbitration claim against the firm with FINRA.

The UBS Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES) involved investing in options with a complex series of put and call spreads with the same expiration date and different strike prices with a strategy called an “iron condor”.

UBS marketed its Yield Enhancement Strategy (YES) as a safe way for investors to increase return on their money at a time when interest rates were low. Unfortunately, it was quite risky, the risk may not have been adequately disclosed, and some investors lost a lot of money.
