Allegations of unsuitable sales of reverse convertibles precluded by SLUSA
By Rodney F. Tonkovic, J.D.
State law claims alleged in a complaint against a seller of convertible notes were precluded by SLUSA and must be dismissed, a district court has found. The court found that the majority of the claims sounded in fraud, and the alleged misrepresentations and omissions were made "in connection with the purchase or sale of a covered security" (Luis v. RBC Capital Markets, LLC, October 13, 2016, Nelson, S.).
