LJM Partners operates as an investment management firm. The Company specializes in volatility strategies aims to deliver low correlation to equity markets. LJM Preservation & Growth Fund is an open-end fund incorporated in the United States. The Fund’s objective is capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in long and short call and put options on Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures contracts and cash and cash equivalents, including high-quality short-term debt securities such as U.S. Treasury securities.
The filed Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and misleading statements regarding the Company’s business, operational and compliance policies. Specifically, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that:
- LJMIX was not focused on capital preservation and left investors exposed to an unacceptably high risk of catastrophic losses; and
- Managers of LJMIX had not taken appropriate steps to preserve capital in down markets and left investors exposed to an unacceptably high risk of catastrophic losses.
The excessive risk inherent in the fund began to emerge on February 5, 2018, when the S&P fell approximately 4.6%. In the wake of this drop, LJMIX plunged from $9.82 on February 2, to
$1.94 on February 7, 2018, a loss of approximately 80%.
