UBS has been ordered by a Luxembourg court to pay French fund managers Oddo & Cie EUR 30 million, following a dispute over funds affected by the Madoff fraud. The case could set a precedent for other European fund custodians such as HSBC.
UBS has been ordered by a Luxembourg court to pay French fund managers Oddo & Cie EUR 30 million, following a dispute over funds affected by the Madoff fraud. The case could set a precedent for other European fund custodians such as HSBC.
Oddo sued UBS to recover the money which the firm had indirectly invested with Madoff. UBS was a custodian for the Luxembourg-based LuxAlpha Sicav American Selection fund in which Oddo held clients’ shares.
Oddo sold its clients’ shares in the LuxAlpha fund on 4 November, over a month before the scandal broke on 11 December, but has not yet received the money.
