Morgan Keegan, is a subsidiary of Regions Financial Corporation.<\/p>\n<p>The Staff had been investigating a number of mutual funds that Morgan Asset Management had previously managed. In light of the Wells notice, the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/\"> securities fraud law firm <\/a>of Shepherd Smith Edwards &amp; Kantas LTD LLP is continuing to file arbitration claims against Morgan Keegan for covering up the risks associated with their bond funds. <\/p>\n<p>Our investor clients are accusing Morgan Keegan of selling specific funds that it promoted as relatively conservative investments when in fact, the funds were exposed to subprime mortgage securities, collateral debt obligations, and other high risk debt instruments.
