The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan says it won\u2019t be remanding the securities fraud lawsuit<\/a> accusing UBS Securities LLC <\/a>and related entities of inducing two Detroit pension plans into taking an equity position in a collateralized loan obligation and then breaching their fiduciary duties through the improper liquidation of the securities. As a result of the alleged defrauding, the Detroit Police and Fire Retirement System of Detroit and the Detroit General Retirement System, also known together as the \u201cSystems,\u201d claim they were deprived of their $40 million investment.<\/p>\n

The securities fraud lawsuit<\/a>, which seeks rescission of contracts and damages, alleges violations of the Michigan Uniform Securities Act and numerous Michigan statutory and common law wrongs. The plaintiffs contend that the $20 billion in CLOs that UBS had obtained through subsidiary Dillon Read Capital Management had deteriorated so badly by May 2007 that UBS sought to unload them. They claim that the broker-dealer not only misrepresented the risks involved with CLOs and its ability to control them, but also, the misrepresentations were part of a scam to get rid of the loans.<\/p>\n

While the defendants sought to remove the action to federal district court on the grounds of diversity jurisdiction, the plaintiffs wanted to remand the case to state court. They argued that diversity jurisdiction was lacking. The court, however, refused to send the securities lawsuit back.<\/p>\n
