While speaking on a Practising Law Institute panel, Morgan Stanley <\/a>managing director D. Scott Tucker noted that this \u201csecond wave\u201d is the \u201cexact opposite of the first wave,\u201d which was primarily brought by smaller pension funds or states claiming violations of the 1933 Securities Act and the 1934 Securities Exchange Act.<\/p>\n

Tucker said that with this new wave, most of the plaintiffs are financial institutions, including investment managers and hedge funds, that are asserting common law fraud and making other state law claims. Also, these latest lawsuits are primarily individual cases, rather than class actions. The securities at the center of this latest wave of litigation are complex structured products, such as credit default swaps, collateralized debt obligations, and mortgage-backed securities, as well as complaints involving private placements and derivatives or securities that don\u2019t trade on liquid markets.<\/p>\n
