NEW YORK, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Securities Law Firm of Klayman & Toskes, http://www.nasd-law.com/, announced today that a class action lawsuit, Case No. 08-CV-07281, has been filed on behalf of purchasers of Freddie Mac common stock. Potential class members should consider whether they should participate in the class action or file an individual securities arbitration claim.
Klayman & Toskes represents retail and institutional investors who have sustained investment losses as a result of holding large, concentrated positions in a single stock or a specific sector. Many full-service brokerage firms recommended the purchase of Freddie Mac common stock to both retail and institutional accounts. However, brokers and financial advisors may have purchased an unsuitable amount of Freddie Mac common stock in their clients' accounts, thereby creating a significant over-concentration. Over-concentration exists when 10% or more of the investment portfolio is invested in a single security or sector.
Klayman & Toskes reminds investors of the benefits of filing an individual arbitration claim, as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit. By participating in a class action lawsuit, an investor will most likely recover only pennies on the dollar. However, if one has experienced substantial losses as a result of being over-concentrated in Freddie Mac common stock, it may be more beneficial for them to file an individual securities arbitration claim. In 2003, Klayman & Toskes conducted a detailed study of securities arbitration versus class action. The study concluded that investors who file a securities arbitration claim traditionally obtain an overall higher rate of recovery as opposed to participating in a class action lawsuit.
