ALERT: CASH SWEEPS INVESTIGATION ALERT: DiCello Levitt LLP Is Investigating Cash Sweeps Programs; Account Holders Encouraged to Contact the Firm

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DiCello Levitt LLP is investigating whether large financial institutions and their investment adviser affiliates violated the law and their duties to act in the best interest of their advisory and trust account clients by funneling uninvested cash held in discretionary investment accounts to affiliated banks and negotiating one-sided deals that enriched the banks and their affiliates while paying customers paltry interest rates as compared to what’s offered on the market. As reported by Bloomberg, Robert Jackson, a New York University law professor and former U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) commissioner, called it a “trillion-dollar conflict of interest” that has affected retail investors and trust accounts around the country.   The SEC has initiated several probes into how investment adviser firms manage their cash sweep programs.
